World Series  < 1945 1947 >

The 1946 World Series was played in October 1946 between the St. Louis Cardinals (representing the National League) and the Boston Red Sox (representing the American League). For other events named "World Series" see World Series (disambiguation. The 1945 World Series matched the American League Detroit Tigers against the National League Chicago Cubs. The 1947 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers, with the Yankees winning the Series in 7 games for their first title since Year 1946 ( MCMXLVI) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full 1946 calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, or simply the American League ( AL) is one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball in In the eighth inning of Game 7, with the score 3-3, the Cardinals' Enos Slaughter opened the inning with a single but two batters failed to advance him. Enos Bradsher Slaughter ( April 27 1916 - August 12 2002) was an American Right fielder in Major League Baseball With two outs, Harry Walker walloped a hit over Johnny Pesky's head into left-center field. Harry William Walker, known to baseball fans of the middle 20th century as "Harry the Hat" ( October 22, 1916 – August 8, 1999) was John Michael Pesky (born John Michael Paveskovich, September 27 1919 in Portland Oregon) nicknamed "The Needle" is a former As Leon Culberson chased it down, Slaughter started his dash. Delbert Leon Culberson ( August 6, 1919 - September 17, 1989) was a Major League Baseball Outfielder. Pesky caught Culberson's throw, turned and - perhaps surprised to see Slaughter headed for the plate - hesitated just a split second before throwing home. Roy Partee had to take a few steps up the third base line to catch Pesky's toss, but Slaughter was safe without a play at the plate and Walker was credited with an RBI double. In Baseball, a double is the act of a batter striking the pitched ball and safely reaching Second base without being called out by the Umpire The Cardinals won the game and the Series in seven games, giving them their sixth championship.

Boston superstar Ted Williams played the Series injured and was largely ineffective but refused to use his injury as an excuse. Theodore Samuel "Ted" Williams ( August 30, 1918 – July 5, 2002) also nicknamed The Kid, the Splendid Splinter

The World Series was back to the 2-3-2 format for home teams, and has been used ever since.

Series quotes

Enos Slaughter is on first base with two away. Harry Walker at bat. Bob Klinger on the mound. Robert Harold Klinger ( June 4, 1908 - August 19, 1977) was a professional Baseball player. He takes the stretch. Here's the pitch. There goes Slaughter. The ball is swung on, there's a line drive going into left-center field. It's in there for a base hit. Culberson fumbles the ball momentarily and Slaughter charges around second, heads for third. Pesky goes into short left field to take the relay from Culberson. John Michael Pesky (born John Michael Paveskovich, September 27 1919 in Portland Oregon) nicknamed "The Needle" is a former And here comes Enos Slaughter rounding third. He's going to try for home. Here comes the throw, and it's not in time! Slaughter scores.

I hit a low pitch that was sinking. This was the biggest thrill of my life. What a game. What a finish.

—Harry Walker.

When the ball went into left-center, I hit second base and I said to myself, 'I can score. ' I didn't know whether the ball had been cut off or not. I didn't know nothin'. It was a gutsy play. But, you know, two men out and the winning run, you can't let the grass grow under your feet.

—Enos Slaughter.

This will be the last game--you can quote me.
