AP via Spartanburg Herald, October 27, 1911: Philadelphia, Oct. 26—Hail! Philadelphia Athletics, Champions of the world for the second successive year.
In an exhibition of batting seldom seen in a premier baseball series, the American league team this afternoon defeated New York in the sixth game of the set by the overwhelming score of 13 to 2…It was more than a mere defeat for the giants [sic], it was a rout.
...
When the game was over that part of the crowd which did not leave the ground before the game was ended remained and held a celebration. They cheered the players, who had dived under the grand stand the instant the last man was out and gave three cheers for Connie Mack.
Hip hip hooray!

Matt Murton on his future
Other events having their anniversary today: one of the happiest moments of White Sox Fan Brother's life, Jose Mesa can't close it out, Jack Buck will see you tomorrow night, Denkinger blows the call & St. Louis schatts their collective pants, Branch Rickey sells out, Joe Cronin fetches a record price for his father-in-law.
