Why the Indians won: Cleveland overcame the death of star shortstop Ray Chapman in August as Stan Coveleski won all three of his starts, allowing just two runs.

Memorable moment: Game 5 featured the only triple play in World Series history (unassisted by Bill Wambsganss), the first grand slam (Elmer Smith) and the first home run by a pitcher (Jim Bagby).
Key stat: 0. The number of times the lead changed hands in any of the seven games.
