Orcin beat me to it, I too was wondering how Whitaker did. I never thought I would enjoy playing with recalc off, but I am loving it. I started in 1906 and I'm now halfway through the 1929 season. I too am managing the Tigers. So far the 3000 hit club includes Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson. Jackson passed Eddie Collins last season to become the all-time hits leader and became the first player to reach 3300 hits in July of 29.
The strange thing is, not a single NL player has reached 3000 hits. In fact, all of the statistical categories are dominated by the AL.
The Philadelphia Athletics have dominated things so far. They have 13 post season appearances, winning the title 8 times. Pittsburgh finally beat them in 1928, ending a streak of 5 straight titles.
The Yankees have the worst overall record. However, they are leading the AL halfway through the 29 season.
