In Game 2 of the 1907 World Series he tossed a complete game 3-1 victory over Detroit.

Jack Pfiester went 12-10 with an even 2.00 ERA in 1908, however he started and lost Game 3 in the Series, again against Detroit, when Ty Cobb lined four hits helping the Tigers win the game 8-3. The Cubs did go on to win the Series 4-games-to-1. The left-hand Jack Pfiester went 17-6, with a 2.43 ERA in 1909.
