The 100th anniversary of Washington’s 1924 World Series, the greatest baseball series ever

This year marks the 100 anniversary of the 1924 World Series. It is considered one of the best in baseball history, featuring the Washington Senators defeating the New York Giants in a seventh game that went 12 innings. It was the only World Series championship for Washington pitcher Walter Johnson, the “Big Train” who many still consider the greatest pitcher in baseball history.

My grandfather, Joe Judge, played first base for Washington at the time. As I have written about in the Washington Examiner, he belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
