Brian, you are correct. However, I suspect you are aware that WaJo did beat the Pirates in Games 1 & 4, with Game 4 being a shutout. Most observers felt that Game 7 should have been postponed due to the sloppy condition of the field - rain did fall during the game plus there was a mist that reduced visibility. If I remember correctly, Clark Griffith was adamant that the game should be played. Yes, the Pirates beat WaJo by the score of 9 - 7, however, 4 of the Pirates runs were unearned (all of the Senators runs were earned), hence WaJo should have been the winning pitcher by the score of 7 - 5!
BTW, Brian, you should also ask for forgiveness from Hank Thomas!
