Today in Baseball History:
- 1929 — The Philadelphia Athletics rally for three runs in the 9th inning to beat the Chicago Cubs, 3 - 2, and take the World Series in five games. A two-run home run by Mule Haas ties the game and Bing Miller hits a RBI double to get the victory. There won’t be another winning rally by a team down two runs in the 9th inning of a Series final game in the 20th century. The Arizona Diamondbacks, in 2001, will do it next.
