The Series was anti-climactic after tight pennant races in both leagues. Ty Cobb had a much better Series than in 1907 but the Cubs' pitchers and catcher Johnny Kling stifled the rest of the Tigers' team. The final two games, in Detroit, were shutouts. This was also the most poorly attended Series with the final game drawing a record-low 6,210 fans. Managers: Frank Chance (Chicago), Hughie Jennings (Detroit) Umpires: Jack Sheridan (AL), Hank O'Day (NL), odd-numbered games; Bill Klem (NL), Tommy Connolly (AL), even-numbered games For the first time, four umpires were used in the series, in alternating two-man teams.
