This Series featured the Athletics' "Mack Attack" (so called in honor of longtime A's owner-manager Connie Mack), in which they overcame an eight-run deficit by scoring 10 runs in the home half of the seventh inning in Game 4 (before two strikeouts by Pat Malone ended it) to gain a 10–8 victory, which ensured the Series didn't even out at two games won apiece. The Athletics were further exalted in the middle of the "Mack Attack" when Cubs center fielder Hack Wilson lost Mule Haas's fly ball in the sun for a fluke three-run inside-the-park home run, bringing the A's to within a run at 8–7. It was the last occurrence of an inside-the-park home run in a World Series game until Game 1 of the 2015 World Series.
