Finished up season 40 last night. The Dallas Eagles who came into the league in 1957 as an expansion team won their very first World Series. This leaves Houston(used to be the Boston Green Sox) as the last non expansion team without a ring.

Strange Hall induction following season 40. Jack Clark gets voted in and to say it has me scratching my head is an understatement. Clark hit only .248 over his career with 397 home runs. His WAR was under 50, I think 48. He walked 1500+ times which ranks him in at least the top 5(at work, so can't say for sure, but I think he second all time behind Eddie Collins). He won 5+ Silver Slugger awards and I think 1 MVP. I just didn't expect him to even come close.
