Post-season:

• Pittsburgh won one half, New York won one half.
• Pittsburgh beat New York 5 games to 2 games in a play-off.

[edit] Events

• February 26 - The New York Yankees release Babe Ruth. Later the same day, the Boston Braves sign him.

• May 24 - At Crosley Field, the Cincinnati Reds and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies played the first night game, which Cincinnati won 2–1. President Franklin D. Roosevelt turns on the lights with a switch in the White House.^[1]

• May 25 - Babe Ruth of goes 4-for-4 with three home runs and six runs batted in. It is the last multi-homer game of Ruth's career, with the final home run, the 714th of his career, being the first ball ever hit to clear the roof at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.^[1]

• May 30 - Babe Ruth ends his playing career with the Boston Braves of the National League. A mathematical extrapolation made in 1990 shows that had Ruth been born five years later, in 1900, rather than in 1895 and begun his hitting career in 1919 - at the start of the Lively Ball Era - rather than in 1914 - he would have hit a career 1,115 home runs and garnered a career 4,120 hits including an 80-home run season in 1930 when the baseball was further "juiced."

• July 8 - At Cleveland Municipal Stadium, home of the Cleveland Indians, the American League defeats the National League, 4–1, in the All-Star Game.^[2]

• August 31 - Vern Kennedy pitches a no-hitter as the Chicago White Sox defeat the Cleveland Indians, 5–0. It is the first no-hitter in the American League since 1931, and the first ever at Chicago's Comiskey Park.^[2]

• October 7 - The Detroit Tigers defeat the Chicago Cubs, 4–3, in Game 6 of the World Series to win their first World Championship, four games to two. This was Detroit's first Series victory after failing to win four previous times.^[2]

• November 26 - The National League assumes control of the bankrupt, Boston Braves franchise after several failed attempts to buy the last-place club. The league takes over only temporarily, until matters can be straightened out.^[1]
