1929 World Series

In the 1929 World Series, the Philadelphia Athletics beat the Chicago Cubs in five games.

The famous "Mack Attack" occurred in 1929, named for manager of the Athletics, Connie Mack, in which the Athletics overcame an eight-run deficit by scoring ten runs in the seventh inning of Game 4. The inning featured an infamous Cubs moment when center fielder Hack Wilson lost Mule Haas' fly ball in the sun resulting in a bases-clearing, inside-the-park home run, although the A's still trailed 8–7 at that point.

    No higher than the soul is high.

    Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.
