Week six saw the 1912 New York Giants maintain their two-game lead atop the standings, despite a four-game split against the 1912 Boston Red Sox. The Giants’ Larry Doyle had an extremely rare power surge, homering in three consecutive games, which gives him five on the season. No one else has more than two. The 1909 Detroit Tigers climbed into a second-place tie with the 1917 Chicago White Sox. The Giants and the 1906 Chicago Cubs have the featured series coming up in week seven.
