1917
Now there are only two left, or actually, there is only one. Nineteen eighteen is gone but 1917 and 1908 remain so there are two, but the city involved with both years is Chicago, so there is only one. While much has been made of the Cubs and 1908, the White Sox and 1917 are almost never mentioned, and with good reason. Every time one brings up 1917, it leads to 1919, and that is not good for baseball.

A Tale of Two Leagues
The World Series was viewed as the primary test between the leagues. It was difficult for one league to claim superiority over the other if its representative lost the World Series. The All-Star became the second most important method to compare the leagues. During the first half of the 20th century, the World Series and the All-Star game were the most important sporting events in the country.

He is rarely mentioned anymore but he is one of the all-time greats. Most Yankees’ fans today have probably never even heard of him but those few who have still appreciate what he did and when he did it. He had a Hall of Fame career with the St. Louis Cardinals, hit 51 home runs for the 1947 New York Giants, and his lifetime batting average was .312. Then he joined the Yankees.

George Was Great
In an article at The Baseball Hall of Fame’s official site, research associate Gabriel Schecter writes that Sisler might have been the best all-around first baseman in baseball history despite being overshadowed by Lou Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx. Sisler was a better base runner than either, which is not to denigrate Gehrig, who was excellent on the bases, and as great as Gehrig was in the field, Sisler was better.
