The View from the Gangplank: end of regular season, 1913
We finish at 75-79, a distant 24 GB the Braves in equal 5th spot. While this isn't too far off my stated target of 500 ball, few good things happen for us this season. Dauss and Cooper both show some good signs, that's about it in the context of our franchise moving forward, and the negative column of the ledger far outweighs these two mild positives. Which means we have a lot of work to do to get us back on track. Definitely no short-term quick fix here.
No late shocks as the two Boston sides win going away.
The batting titles, like the Pennants, head to Beantown, with Tris Speaker (.373) and Bill Sweeney (.347) each winning it for the first time.
Washington's Smoky Joe Williams misses out on the AL Pitching Triple Crown by a measly 9 strikeouts, while Rube Foster of the Braves also wins two of the three legs in the NL.
