Why the Cubs won: Orval Overall tossed two complete games, allowing one run total, and the Cubs hit .293.

Memorable moment: The final game in Detroit set an all-time World Series record for smallest attendance -- 6,210 -- and also marks the last title for the Cubs.
Key stat: .421. The batting average of Cubs player-manager Frank Chance, who also stole five bases.
