Regular season
Mathewson won the pitching triple crown and then had one of the greatest World Series performances of all-time, with three shutouts in six days. Only six men pitched for the Giants in 1905. The offense, led by "Turkey" Mike Donlin, scored the most runs in the majors.
On June 29, Archie "Moonlight" Graham, made famous through the novel Shoeless Joe and subsequent movie "Field of Dreams", made his lone major league appearance.
