The 1913 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1913 season. The tenth edition of the World Series, it matched the American League (AL) champion Philadelphia Athletics against the National League (NL) New York Giants. The Athletics won the Series four games to one.
The A's pitching gave the edge to a closer-than-it-looked Series in 1913. Christy Mathewson lost his Series swan song in the final game to an old college rival and eventual fellow Baseball Hall of Fame member, Eddie Plank. With previous victories in 1910 and 1911, the Athletics became the first team to win three World Series.
The Giants, meanwhile, became the first National League team since the Chicago Cubs (1906–1908) to win three consecutive pennants. They were also the second club (following the Detroit Tigers 1907–1909) to lose three consecutive World Series; and remain the last to do so.
The Series itself was a face-off between two teams that later became crosstown rivals in Oakland and San Francisco. The Oakland A's won again in a four-game sweep in the 1989 World Series, famous for the earthquake that struck before Game 3, which is the last World Series victory for the A's.
