The 1933 New York Giants won a hard-fought five game World Series over the Washington Senators of the American League. While the series finished in five games, the final two games of that series, played at Washington’s Griffith Stadium, were won by the Giants by one-run affairs, both settled in extra innings. Managed by Hall of Famer Bill Terry, the Giants rode the pitching of NL MVP and Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell, who tossed two complete game victories in Games 1 & 4, which included an 11-inning performance in Game 4. In Hubbell’s two starts, he did not allow an earned run in the 20 innings he pitched.
