Events

February 27- Jack Quinn, a pitcher for the Boston Braves, jumped from the National League to the Baltimore Terrapins of the Federal League. Quinn was one of many players from the AL and NL who jumped leagues.

April 17- Pitcher Red Faber makes his MLB debut for the Chicago White Sox in their 6–5 victory over the winless Cleveland Naps.
April 21 - Future hall of famer Frank Chance plays his last game. He gets into the game as a defensive replacement for the New York Yankees.
May 13 – Joe Benz pitches a no hitter in a 6-1 Chicago White Sox victory over the Cleveland Naps.
June 9 – Honus Wagner of the Pittsburgh Pirates becomes the second member of the 3000 hit club.
July 1- Harry Kingman pitch hits for the New York Yankees in their 7–4 loss to the Washington Senators. Though Kingman appeared in four games in his MLB career and never got a hit, he was the first player born in China to play major league baseball.
July 17 – Red Murray of the New York Giants catches game winning catch and is immediately struck by lightning.
September 9 – In the second game of a doubleheader, George Davis of the Boston Braves pitches a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies in a 7–0 win.
August 27- Fred McMullin makes his MLB debut for the Detroit Tigers in their 9–2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. McMullin would later be infamous as one of the players banned from baseball for conspiring to throw the 1919 World Series.

October 13 – The Boston Braves defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-1, in Game 4 of the World Series to win their first World Championship, four games to none. This was the first four-game sweep in World Series history. The Cubs had defeated the Tigers four games to none in 1907, but Game 1 had ended in a tie before the Cubs won the next four in a row.
November 1 – Philadelphia Athletics owner Connie Mack starts a fire sale, asking waivers on Jack Coombs, Eddie Plank and Chief Bender. Coombs goes to the Brooklyn Robins as Plank and Bender escape Mack's maneuvering by jumping to the Federal League.
