1943 World Series

Johnny Beazley, Jimmy Brown, Creepy Crespi, Terry Moore and Enos Slaughter were no longer on the Cardinals' roster.

Cardinals pitchers Howie Pollet, Max Lanier and Mort Cooper ranked 1–2–3 in the National League in ERA in 1943 at 1.75, 1.90 and 2.30, respectively.

In the fourth inning, with runners on first and third and no outs off Max Lanier, Charlie Keller's double play tied the game, and then Joe Gordon's home run gave the Yankees a 2–1 lead.

After a lineout, Nick Etten's RBI groundout cut the Cardinals' lead to one, but Cooper coaxed Joe Gordon to pop out in foul territory to end the game and tie the series 1–1.

In the sixth, Borowy hit a leadoff double off Al Brazle, moved to third on a sacrifice fly and scored on an error on Billy Johnson's ground ball.

The Yankees struck first when Joe Gordon doubled with two outs in the fourth off Max Lanier and scored on Bill Dickey's single.

Murry Dickson, who helped close the door for the Cardinals by allowing no hits while on the mound, was on a ten-day pass from the United States Army.
