Game two of the World Series takes place in Brooklyn on October 6, 1920. The Dodgers beat the Indians 3-0 to even the best of nine series at one game apiece. Grandfathered spitballer Burleigh Grimes throws the shutout, allowing seven hits and four walks. Zack Wheat drove in the only run that mattered in the first inning, while Tommy Griffith drove a run in the third and the fifth inning.

The front page game story goes out of its way to note how the fans showed a lack of enthusiasm for the win:

In the old days, before world’s series players began to find banknotes under their pillows, the frenzied fams of Flatbush would have dashed into the field and carried Burleigh Grimes to the clubhouse. They might even have tried to get enough shoulders together to carry the rotund Wilbert Robinson off the field.

There was plenty of food for thought for magnates, if magnates think, at Ebbets Field yesterday. Here was the favorite pitcher smothering the rush of the invader right in the shadow of the spires, the gas houses and the smokeless brewery chimneys of Brooklyn, and only a mild demonstration. Here was the best beloved of the baseball managers, with a back broad enough to be slapped by a thousand brawny hands, but nary a slap.

And just in case you thought tracking pitches started in the 1980s, this page provides balls and strikes by inning for the three hurlers in the game. Grimes threw 51 strikes, 48 balls, with another 10 pitches ending in grounders and another 15 pitches ending in fly balls. So that would be 76 strikes and 48 balls by today’s accounting.
