Why the Red Sox won: With the Series moved up to early September due to World War I, Boston's pitching helped the Sox overcome a .186 team average.
Why the Cubs lost: You can't blame the pitching -- the Cubs lost despite allowing just nine runs in six games.
Memorable moment: After pitching a shutout in Game 1, Babe Ruth's two-run triple was the key blow as he won Game 4 as well.
Key stat: 4. The number of World Series the Red Sox both appeared in and won during the decade.
