Everything comes down to this. After eight grueling games, injuries, strategy shifts, and unforgettable performances, the first-ever World Series reaches its winner-take-all climax at Boston’s Huntington Avenue Grounds.

Will Honus Wagner rise to the moment? Or will Boston’s relentless lineup finish what it started?
