The 1904 Major League Baseball season was contested from April 14 to October 10, 1904. The
Boston Americans and
New York Giants finished atop the standings for the
American League and
National League, respectively. There was no postseason, as the Giants declined to meet the Americans in a
World Series.
The
St. Louis Browns and
Detroit Tigers played 11 consecutive games against each other in September—the first six in Detroit and the final five in St. Louis[1]—the most games played consecutively between two teams in major league history.[2]
The 1904 schedule consisted of 154 games (an increase from 140 from the
previous season) for all teams in the American League and National League, each of which had eight teams. Each team was scheduled to play 22 games against the other seven teams of their respective league. This format was an adjustment to the 140-game, 20-games-each format that had been in place from the
1901 season. This format would last until
1919.
Opening Day took place on April 14 with all but the
Pittsburgh Pirates and
St. Louis Cardinals playing. The National League and American League would see their final day of the regular season on October 9 & 10, respectively.
