I looked at this and found myself wondering “what in the heck happened in 1916 for the pennant? This cartoon offers zero hints.”
So I googled and 1916 was apparently nutso enough to deserve a book:
The Major League Pennant Races of 1916: “The Most Maddening Baseball Melee in History”
The World Series was between the Boston Red Sox and the Brooklyn Robins (you may know them by their nickname: The Dodgers). So this is a cartoon about the 1916 Red Sox Pennant. Checking the 1916 stats for the American League, it looks like it was a real nail-biter between the Red Sox, the White Sox, and the Tigers (Cobb was, apparently, the #1 hitter that year).
So what was it like to live through it in person?
Well: This cartoon.Report
