P440: The Inevitable Finally Happened, or, Third Time's the Charm!
So, an inevitable clash of titans in a Perfect League Series finally happened, as the Amberg Legends dispatched the Lansing Lugnuts and the Huntley Red Raiders defeated the Omar Panthers, each in 6 games. So it will be the 130-32 Legends, throwing Stan Coveleski, Vida Blue, Ed Walsh, and (99) Walter Johnson, against the 124-38 Red Raiders, starting Ed Walsh, Rube Waddell, Roger Clemens, and Curt Schilling. Standouts in Amberg's lineup are Willie Mays and Luke Appling, who finished first and third in the AC in WAR (7.8 and 7.0), respectively.
Amberg is looking to match Huntley's 4 Perfect League titles, while this is Huntley's third attempt at its fifth Perfect League championship. Will Amberg live up to its moniker? Or will Huntley finally win one for the thumb? The story will be told...tonight.
