Seeding Round League 8
Settings year:
1887
Note: 19th century baseball tends to differ significantly from modern day or even 20th century baseball. Triples are more common than HRs, there will often be less than 5 pitchers in a starting rotation, and errors are much more common.
Highlights:
The 1930 St. Louis Cardinals defeated the 1940 Brooklyn Dodgers in 5 games to become the 2nd St. Louis Cardinals team to earn a top 300 spot. Kiki Cuyler (1929 Chicago Cubs) was the first player to win the MVP unanimously, thanks in part to his league-leading 189 stolen bases. The 1890 Syracuse Stars advanced to Round 1, becoming the 3rd American Association and 7th non-AL/NL team to make it out of the Seeding Round. The 1927 Philadelphia Athletics won the play-in playoffs over the 1981 Baltimore Orioles in 6 games and will be found in Round 1.
