Who was the first World Series team to win 2 games in the same day?
1903 World Series
Each club provided one umpire
Ball hit into roped-off crowd in outfield counted as a ground-rule double or a triple,
depending upon the game. This decision had an effect on every game played in the
series.
Approximately 100,000 tickets would be sold for the 8 games for a grand total of
$75,000. Boston players split with owner 75/25, each receive $1,182. Pittsburgh players receive 100%, receive $1,316.
(This team’s checks made out to the players’ wives.)
Baseballs tended to last a whole game (rubber-core balls cost $1.25 to produce).
Would retrieve foul balls, etc. Maybe would use 3-4 balls in a game. Balls
became soft and sometimes misshapen as the game progressed.
Players not due to bat coached the baselines (until about 1907). Announcer
with a megaphone would call out who was at bat.
No numbers on the backs of uniforms until 1929.
Until 1953, gloves were left on the field when the team came to bat.
