You've heard of Baseball Savant, but have you ever heard of a baseball idiot savant? Fan-first content.

Baseball's first cross-town World Series came in 1906. The Comiskey-owned White Sox were led by all-time MLB ERA leader Ed Walsh. The 1906 Cubs were one of the most dominant teams in history, winning 116 games in the regular season.

@nut_history Filing away in the "oddly specific" category.

A noted eccentric, Jennings would do various antics, particularly yelling "Ee-Yah" while raising his right knee and his arms in the air.

During their 1907-1909 Pennant years, the Detroit Tigers were managed by Hughie Jennings, who also served as third base coach.

@StillTheKnudson It's like he can't fill a void after retiring

@A_Huffstutler It's such a summer staple.

@randi9320 Ugh thanks for the warning. F'ing owners

@DanClarkSports There's always been lolMets. But this year we need lolYanks

@TalkinBaseball_ Gotta always trust your gut, Boone

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@DanClarkSports Right? That was insane irony

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@Yankees Damn, that's humbling.

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

Wow that was ironic for Boone and Cole. @Yankees

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@Yankees Boone went to the mound at 96 pitches to pull Cole, ended up keeping him in for Max Muncy. And Muncy proceeds to hit a bomb.

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@RileyDaGoat_ Yes it's quite ironic

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@MotleySchuh 🤔

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@ChaseDaniel Yes it is staged engagement farming.

@Cubs @tigers The Georgia Peach would end his career with 149.8 Wins Above Replacement (WAR), 6th all time according to @baseball_ref

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

1907 saw the loaded Chicago Cubs continue their winning ways, making it to the Series to sweep the Detroit Tigers in 4 straight games after Game 1 was called for darkness and ended in a tie.

[Sterling @BaseballSter]

@Cubs @tigers The Tigers were led by young phenom Ty Cobb, and with his offensive output would win the AL pennant and play in the World Series the next 2 years as well.
