Whiteman was 35 when called up by the Red Sox in 1918, and he filled in for Babe Ruth in the outfield whenever Ruth pitched. He was the defensive hero of the 1918 World Series, making a somersaulting catch in the eighth inning of the final game. (EC)
FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» September 11, 1918: The Red Sox win the World Series in game six on Carl Mays's 2nd victory, a 2–1 three–hitter. With two on and two out in the 3rd, utility OF George Whiteman lines a hard drive to RF. Max Flack drops it, allowing the only runs off Lefty Tyler. Righty Claude Hendrix, 20–7 during the year, finally makes an appearance, tossing a final inning for the Cubs. Cubs pitchers compile a 1.04 ERA, while Boston's .186 BA is the lowest ever for a World Series winner, but they compensate by making just one error, a record not beaten this century in a 6-game World Series. The Red Sox will realize $1,102 each, the Cubs $671, the smallest winner's share ever earned. The inning by inning results of the game were relayed to Fort Devans, 58 miles away, via homing nine pigeons.
