The saga of the thrilling World Series of 1924, and the clash between two aging stars: pitcher Walter Johnson, appearing in his first Series at age 36, and John McGraw, longtime manager of the powerful New York Giants. In an October without Babe Ruth for the first time in four years, the surprise AL champion Washington Senators and the four-time NL champion Giants battled through seven tense, exhilarating contests, culminating in a twelve-inning classic in Game Seven.
