Seeding Round League 17

Settings year:
1902

Highlights:
The finals for league 17 featured 2 dominant teams. The 1896 Baltimore Orioles and the 1943 New York Yankees both took their league’s pennant but, in the finals, it was the Orioles over the Yankees in 6 games. This win is particularly noteworthy because the 1896 Baltimore Orioles are a 19th century team that is now defunct. This is the first of the final 300 spots to go to a team that is not one of the 30 current MLB teams. Four teams from non-AL/NL teams also advanced out of the round (1889 St. Louis Browns, 1890 Louisville Colonels, 1925 Kansas City Monarchs, 1940 Philadelphia Stars). MVP winner Ray Caldwell (1918 New York Yankees) will be only the 2nd MVP winner to not be able to defend his title as the team missed 24th in the standings on a tiebreaker. Our last in team was the 1969 Washington Senators after they defeated the 1990 Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 in game 7.

1. Ray Caldwell (1918 New York Yankees) – .399/8/94/6.1 (and 4.7 pitching WAR) 635 (40)
