Lefty Grove left no chance, holding the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals to just a run on 6 hits while striking out 9 as the 1931 Philadelphia Athletics offense pummeled the Cardinals 13-1 in Game 1 of the 1930s World Series. Cardinals starter Bill Hallahan didn’t make it out of the 3rd inning, allowing 8 runs on 8 hits. St. Louis also committed 4 errors in the game. Philadelphia scored in all but two innings. Allyn Stout left in the 5th after giving up a 2-run home run to Eric McNair. Flint Rhem did a little better for the Cardinals, but even he allowed 6 hits and 3 runs in 4 innings. Mule Haas drove in 3 runs to lead the offense in a game in which every Athletics starter had a hit. St. Louis’ top hitter, Chick Hafey, was 0 for 4 and struck out 3 times. Frankie Frisch broke up Grove’s shutout in the 9th with a leadoff solo homer. Al Simmons was 2 for 5 with a home run. His average is an astounding .521 in the Tournament. The Cardinals hope to forget this game as they look on to Game 2 of the Series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
