Faber didn't play in the 1919 Series. In fact, the last game he played that year was Sept. 15, two full weeks before the Series began.

He was injured - which changed the course of history, because Gleason could've pitched him instead of Williams, after Schalk and Kid realized Williams' pitching was highly suspect.

However, I don't know if Red suited up for the Series and wore that jersey on the bench.

Mark - Yes I know he didnt play and was sick/injured but he was still there suited up on the bench...

IMO a health Faber would not have changed much as he would have started in place of Dickie Kerr who was 2-0 in the series.

Schalk was screaming at Williams for throwing soft pitches, and rumors of a fix were rampant. I think Kid knew he couldn't trust Lefty and wouldn't have had him out there if he'd had Faber or Kerr as an alternative.

But, we'll never know.
