100 years ago today, October 7, 2024, the Washington Nationals won the fourth game of the World Series, 7 to 4. Goose Goslin hit cleanup for the Nationals, and went four for four, a home run, and four RBIs. The Nationals beat the Giants that day, 7 to 4. The game took 2 hours and 10 minutes to play; among the umpires were Bill Klem and Bill Dinneen (who is among the T206 players). The Nationals went on to win the World Series, in seven games, beating the New York Giants.
During the regular season in 1924, The Goose had hit .344, racking up 199 hits, and a league leading 129 RBIs.
