In October 1905, New York's Giants met Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series, a contest that drew intense interest across the city. The Giants, managed by John McGraw and playing at the Polo Grounds on Coogan's Bluff in Upper Manhattan, were carried by Christy Mathewson, who pitched three shutouts in the five-game set. New York had been one municipality since 1898, when the five boroughs were consolidated, and its subway, which opened in 1904, was carrying crowds north toward the ballpark. Newspapers tracked each inning for readers across the boroughs, and the series became a matter of local pride for fans who could not always reach the grounds themselves.
