Ford broke Ruth's record of 29.1 innings and ended up with 33.2 innings.
Ford and The Giants Christy Matthewson are tied with 4 World Series shutouts.
Matthewson had 3 shutouts in the 1905 World Series for most in one Series.
The consecutive post season shutout record is held by the Yankees Mariano Rivera.
but they didn't have a playoff system when Ford and Matthewson pitched.
I just thought I would add my 2 cents worth because I am tired of Chipmaker getting
all the Glory.

Hint: leaving out a key word, like, oh, maybe "consecutive", can and often does completely change the complexion or context of a trivia question. Sometimes is really messes things up, and then the asker looks like a doofus. Don't be that guy.
The answer to the properly worded question is, yes, Babe Ruth, who had a World Series scoreless innings streak of 29 or so.
