National League Golden Jubilee Ends With Pirates Victory
The 1925 season crowned the Pittsburgh Pirates champions over the Washington Senators in the seventh game of the World Series. The pennant marked the NL’s first westward championship since 1919, ending New York’s four-year grip as Cincinnati’s fortunes faded. Earl Smith led Pittsburgh with steady bat and leadership, as Fred Clarke assisted and the team rallied from early doubt into a dynamic, confident unit.
