Deacon Phillipe pitched 5 complete games in the series for the Pirates. It was a best-of-nine championship in 1903.
The World Series has been contested as a best-of-nine four times: 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921.
There’s a statue of Cy Young on my alma mater’s (Northeastern) grounds because the stadium at that time was on the current location of the campus. I have a picture of that statue with a Pirates cap on it that I took one time we were playing the Sox.
