The Boston Braves had two transcendent superstars in LHSP Bill Foster (18-8, 263.0 IP, 292 K, 3 HRA, 1.68 ERA, 1.54 FIP, 13.1 WAR), and 3B Home Run Baker (.347/.402/.599/1.001, 191 OPS+, 198 wRC+ with 41 HR and 136 RBI, and he struck out just 33 times in 715 plate appearances), and a tremendous season from LHSP Erik Bedard (17-10, 2.64 ERA, 2.74 FIP), but it wasn't enough to get past the New York Giants in the NLCS. The Giants got a great season out of RHSP Bert Abbey (19-4, 1.51 ERA, 2.58 FIP), and solid seasons from CF Bobby Tolan (.281/.335/.465/.800, with a 133 OPS+ and a 138 wRC+ and 23 HR, 22 SB, and 65 RBI), RF Shoeless Joe Jackson (.315/.380/.529/.909, with a 165 OPS+ and a 172 wRC+ with 26 HR and 86 RBI), and starting pitchers (LH) Don Gullett (11-6, 3.03 ERA, 2.89 FIP), (RH) Axel Lindstrom (9-13, 3.57 ERA, 3.18 FIP), (LH) Phil Knell (16-13, 3.55 ERA, 3.62 FIP). The Giants beat the Braves in six and fell to the Tigers in five.
