Phoenix would again have the best record in baseball in 1907, following their 120-win campaign with a 114-48 mark and Western League title. Jason Salvage secured a third MVP award and the Firebirds’ Tom Guillaume was given pitcher of the year with a 27-5, 2.77 ERA season. Denver again took second in the WL, although this time they had to fend off Portland and San Francisco down the stretch.

Tampa took the Southern League at 93-69 with San Antonio second at 91-71. Oklahoma City, Memphis, Houston, and Dallas all hung around but fell off late. Hornet ace Jeremy Frechette posted a 10.3 WAR season, one of a select few to do so ever, but Guillaume’s win and league-best WHIP gave him the edge in the voter’s minds.

St. Louis won the Midwest League and had the best National Association record at 111-51 despite a lack of big award winners. Second place was a fierce five-team battle which Minneapolis took at 88-74. The Moose finished one game ahead of defending World Series Champion Louisville, two over Indianapolis and Milwaukee, and five ahead of Detroit.

New York won the Eastern League for the third consecutive season, finishing 104-58. Philadelphia took second for the third straight year as well with their 91-71 besting closest contenders Baltimore and Montreal. Phillies centerfielder Alex Webber earned MVP honors at age 34. Although 10^th in the ML, Cleveland boasted the pitcher of the year in Josh Davis. It was the first and not the last for the 23-year old lefty from Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

The Yankees were again stunned in the first round of the playoffs as Minneapolis beat them in five games. The Cardinals swept the Phillies, setting up an all-Midwest National Association final. Despite the weakest record in the field and +2 run differential, the Moose advanced in six games.

The favorites prevailed in the American Association as Phoenix and Tampa swept San Antonio and Denver, respectively. The Firebirds topped the Thunderbirds 4-2 to send Phoenix to the World Series. The Moose Magic would run out as the Firebirds weren’t going to let another stellar season end in disappointment. Phoenix won the World Series in five games.

Other notes: on August 20, Dale “Lobster” Hernandez of the San Antonio Oilers made history with the MLB’s first perfect game. The Penn State graduate struck out 11 against the Oakland Owls in the perfecto. Elsewhere, San Diego’s Adam Mallett won his seventh consecutive (and final) AA Silver Slugger at catcher.
