The 1914 Miracle Braves had one of the most improbable comebacks in MLB history to win the pennant, and the World Series. The start to their season was so bad, it took until this day for the team to win consecutive games.
One could understand if fans of the Boston Braves did not expect much of the team heading into the 1914 campaign. The Braves finished in last place each season from 1909 through 1912, and improved enough to finish fifth in 1913. However, those fans hoping for a resurgent 1914 seemed destined to be disappointed.
Boston got off to a rough start, and were sitting at 5-18 heading into the game on this day.
