3. Mike Corkins, 23, PHI, RHSP

With stars like 3B Home Run Baker, SP Bill Foster, SP Johnny Marcum, C Alan Ashby (yes that Alan Ashby: .285/.361/.420/.782 with 17 HR and 89 RBI, good for a 122 OPS+ and a 128 wRC+), CF Benny Meyer, and SP Parke Swartzel it should've been a cakewalk for the 1950 Boston Braves (103-59). But that's why they play the games. The Pirates turned out to be the team to beat in 1950, taking down the favoured Braves in six in the NLCS, and then a very good Senators team in five in the World Series.
