Revere 781-629-3798 PARKING AMAZING WATER VIEWS of .383, third in the AL with a slugging percentage of .567 and fourth in the AL with 52 stolen bases. And the pitching! Starting with Hall of Famer Smoky Joe Wood: He won 34 season games, including 16 in a row, while losing only five, with an ERA of .191 and 258 strikeouts over 344 innings pitched. Wood had a 3 and 1 record in the World Series; his third win was as a reliever in the final game. Buck O’Brien went 20 and 13 with an ERA of 2.58 and 115 strikeouts over 276 innings. Hugh Bedient went 20 and 9, had an ERA of 2.92 and 122 strikeouts over 231 innings. Ray Collins went 13 and 8, had an ERA of 2.53 and 82 strikeouts over 199 innings. Charley Hall went 15 and 8, had an ERA of 3.02 and 83 strikeouts in 191 innings. The main reliever, Larry Pape, pitched 49 innings, won 1 and lost 1, had an ERA of 4.99 and 17 strikeouts. Wood was the major league baseball leader with his 34 wins and his 10 shutouts. He was second in the AL with an ERA of 1.91 and 258 strikeouts. The team led the league in runs scored, 799, and the fewest runs allowed, 544. They led in team batting average at .277; doubles, 269; home runs, 29; RBIs, 654; and fewest errors, 267. The pitching staff led the league in complete games, 108; strikeouts, 712; shutouts, 18; and fewest walks allowed, 385. The World Series was monumental in that they played eight games. The Sox won the first in the Polo Grounds, 4-3. They moved to Fenway Park for the next two games, the second a 6-6 tie that was suspended after 11 innings due to darkness. No lights in those days. Game three saw the Giants win, 2-1, to even the series. The Red Sox won game four in the Polo Grounds, 3-1, to lead the series. Game five was back in Fenway with the Sox winning, 2-1. Back to the Polo Grounds for game six and the Giants won, 5-2. The Giants took the seventh game at Fenway, 114, to even the series again. Smoky Joe won the eighth game to wrap up the series in the Sox favor, 3-2, in 11 innings. Additionally, the new park was a sight to behold to Bostonians. Fenway hosted the National High School Footbal l Championship be - tween Oak Park, and Everett in 1912. Sadly, the home towners lost, 32-14. Before the season started, the Sox played a scrimmage against Harvard and won, 2-zip, encountering snow flurries along the way. Amateur teams were allowed to use the new diamond and local newspaper teams; the Christian Science Monitors played the Somerville Independents twice, an 8-8 tie on July 27 in 12 innings (halted by darkness) and 4-1 on August 3. On August 8 the Monitors beat the Boston Transcripts, 2-1. August 10 saw the Winthrop Knights of Columbus eke out a 3-1 victory in seven innings over the Lynn Elks. Fenway Park has been a treat for high school games through the years, and in 1912 Boston Latin and Boston English had their football game at Fenway, Latin winning, 7-6. Now the park hosts many high school baseball and football games and included a few New England Patriots games; I got to see a few while a student at Boston University. Now they have added hockey and other winter events to keep the park busy year-round.
