Seeding Round League 4

Settings year:
1942

Highlights:
This season, the champion proves why we need to consider all 3329 teams when determining the best. This league featured 3 World Series Champions, but at the end of the day, the 1894 Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the 1944 St. Louis Cardinals in 6 games to earn a spot in the top 300. The 1894 Pittsburgh Pirates did not even finish with a winning record in 1894 but they were able to earn a spot in the top 300 teams. This season also shows us what a difference a year makes. The 1992, 1993, and 1994 St. Louis Cardinals, all found themselves in the same league. The 1992 and 1993 versions earned a bye to Round 2 while the 1994 version will have to go through Round 1. League 4 also included our first advancer from the East-West League as the 1932 Detroit Wolves have made it to Round 1. The 1882 Chicago White Stockings did something that I didn’t think was possible. They qualified to round 1 despite having only two pitchers. Both pitchers pitched over 550 innings and Fred Goldsmith won the Cy Young to get their team into the next round. The 1966 New York Yankees took the final spot in Round 1, beating out the 1962 Chicago White Sox 4-3 in game 7 of the play-in championship.
