NABL News: Playoffs begin
Monday, October 3rd, 1949
"Baseball is a marathon," or so the saying goes. But once the North American BaseBall League playoffs start today, it's a sprint to the finish. One false move, one errant miscue, one pressure-packed flub will end your team's chances of winning the title. It could be over in a moment. On the other hand, one swing of the bat or a fastball blown by the last hitter could just as easily send your team parading down Main Street, hoisting a 24-carat gold-studded North American Series trophy before an adoring crowd. The contending ballclubs are all poised and ready -- the playoffs begin today with several North American Series showdowns:
Pittsburgh Pirates versus Cleveland Indians.
