Seeding Round League 12
Settings year:
1934
Highlights:
Led by MVP Ted Williams, the 1941 Boston Red Sox defeated the 1992 Cincinnati Reds in 7 games to earn a spot in the top 300 teams. The Cy Young winner was not as lucky as George Bechtel and the 1874 Philadelphia Whites will not even make it out of round 1. The Whites can take solace in the fact that they had the best performance to date for a National Association team with 68 wins on only two pitchers. Two more Negro National League teams have advanced with the 1926 Kansas City Monarchs moving to round 2 and the 1928 Cleveland Tigers making round 1. One of the all-time best names in MLB history, the 1890 Pittsburgh Burghers, were able to win the play-in and keep the franchises only team alive.
