1968 World Series
The 1968 World Series featured the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals against the Detroit Tigers,
with the Tigers winning in seven games for their first championship since 1945, and the third in their
history. The Tigers came back from a 3–1 deficit to win three in a row, largely on the arm of MVP Mickey
Lolich, who won three complete games in a single World Series, a feat that has not been duplicated since,
as of 2007. In his third appearance in the Series, Lolich had to pitch after only two days' rest in the
deciding Game 7, because regular-season 31-game winner Denny McLain had proven ineffective in the
postseason. In Game 5, the Tigers' hopes for the title would have been very much in jeopardy had Bill
Freehan not tagged out Lou Brock in a home plate collision when Brock mistakenly elected not to slide and
went in standing up.
The narrow win for the Tigers was due, in small part, to a bold gamble by Manager Mayo Smith. The Tigers
rotated four good hitting outfielders during the season (Willie Horton, Mickey Stanley, Al Kaline, and Jim Northrup);
in an effort to get all four into the lineup in the World Series, Smith moved center fielder Mickey Stanley
to shortstop (replacing Ray Oyler, who batted .135 during the season) even though he had never played there
in his minor or major league career. The gamble paid off as Al Kaline batted .379 with eleven hits including
two home runs and eight RBIs, Jim Northrup knocked in eight runs to go along with his two home runs, and
Willie Horton hit .304 with a home run and six runs scored while Stanley made only two insignificant errors.
The 1968 season was tagged "The Year of the Pitcher", and the Series featured dominant performances from
Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson, MVP of the 1964 World Series and 1967 World Series. Gibson came into the Series
with a stunning regular-season Earned Run Average of just 1.12, and he would pitch complete games in
Games 1, 4, and 7. He was the winning pitcher in Games 1 and 4. In Game 1, he threw a shutout, striking
out seventeen batters, besting Sandy Koufax's 1963 record by two, and which still stands as the World Series
record as of 2007. In Game 4, a solo home run by Jim Northrup was the only offense the Tigers were able to
muster, as Gibson struck out ten batters. In Game 7, Gibson was defeated by series MVP Mickey Lolich, allowing
three runs on four straight hits in the decisive seventh inning, although the key play was a triple that was
seemingly misplayed by Flood in center field which could have been the third out with no runs scoring.
The Series saw the Cardinals lose a Game 7 for the first time in their history. The Tigers were the third
team to come back from a three games to one deficit to win a best-of-seven World Series, the first two being
the 1925 Pirates and the 1958 Yankees. Later, the 1979 Pirates, and 1985 Royals would accomplish this feat.
This was the last World Series to be played before the introduction of divisional play in Major League Baseball,
and subsequent expansion of the postseason to include the League Championship Series. In his book about the
history of the World Series, historian Lee Allen made the point that it was the last "pure" World Series, in
the sense that divisional play would raise the possibility that the team with the best record from one or both
leagues might not get into the Series, which has proven to be an accurate prediction
(both teams in 2006, for example).
The Hall of Fame players in the 1968 World Series were Red Schoendienst(Manager), Lou Brock, Steve Carlton,
Orlando Cepeda, Bob Gibson, Al Kaline and Eddie Mathews.
