On this day in 1929 the Cubs won a World Series game against Connie Mack's Philadelphia A's.
Guy Bush was on the Shibe Park mound for the Cubs, and the Mississippi Mudcat scattered nine hits, and gave up one run. But the big bangers on the A's were ineffective. Hall of Famers Al Simmons and Jimmie Foxx combined to go 0-7.
Meanwhile, the Cubs had a few Hall of Famers of their own, and all three of them showed why they were enshrined. Rogers Hornsby and Hack Wilson each had two hits, and KiKi Cuyler knocked in the game winning runs.
After the game ended the Cubs had cut the A's lead to 2-1. It would be as close as they would get. The A's swept the final two games to win their fourth championship.
