Seeding Round League 6
Settings year:
2014 without DH
Highlights:
Given that the league settings were 2014, there was a good opportunity for a younger team to earn a spot in the top 300. The 2021 Boston Red Sox took advantage beating the 1990 Oakland Athletics in 5 games to claim a top 300 spot. Even with only 6 qualified teams, we can guarantee a minimum gap of 127 years between the qualifying teams as a result. The league also featured our third unanimous Cy Young winner in Pete Alexander (1917 Philadelphia Phillies). All 25 advancing teams came from either the NL or the AL. The 1906 Cincinnati Reds won the last spot in Round 1 by defeating the 2009 Florida Marlins 4-2.
MVP:
1. Rickey Henderson (1990 Oakland Athletics) - .324/35/109/11 565 (27)
2. George Sisler (1920 St. Louis Browns) – .376/32/129/9.2 508 (18)
3. Sammy Strang (1906 New York Giants) - .327/43/149/10.2 367
Note: The other first place votes went as follows:
4 to Pete Alexander (1917 Philadelphia Phillies) who won the Cy Young and finished 7th in MVP voting

1. Pete Alexander (1917 Philadelphia Phillies) – 21-2/1.92/251/9.1 343 (49)
