New York 1946 North American Series Champions
Wednesday, October 9th, 1946
The Yankees earned their 6th North American Series title and now get to spend all winter basking in glory, while the beaten Cubs will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.

New York is the North American BaseBall League Champions for 1946. They did it with a 8-4 triumph to capture the series 4-3.

"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," the winning manager said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."

The Chicago skipper agreed with that assessment and added, "We were a little weak on fundamentals at crucial times. I have a sneaky suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring."

NABL News: First-Year Player Draft
Saturday, October 12th, 1946
Cleveland, Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago and New York have the opportunity to really make some organization-altering changes today. Their GMs have been huddled around the conference room all night, playing over scenarios with the scouting staff, arguing out the merits of every possible scenario they can fathom. Who they pick might set their clubs up for ten years of quality baseball or it might mean ten years of languishing as an also-ran. BNN experts have concluded that these ten young men should be picked at the top of the draft:

1. Curt Simmons, 17 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school.
2. Vic Wertz, 21 year-old left fielder out of college.
3. Earl Torgeson, 22 year-old first baseman out of college.
4. Mel Parnell, 24 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
5. Hank Thompson, 20 year-old second baseman out of college.
6. Larry Doby, 22 year-old center fielder out of college.
7. Jackie Robinson, 27 year-old first baseman out of college.
8. Larry Jansen, 26 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
9. Al Rosen, 22 year-old third baseman out of college.
10. Spider Jorgensen, 26 year-old third baseman out of college.
