Looking for a National Association title three-peat in 1910, the St. Louis Cardinals took the top record in the NA and Midwest League at 100-62. It was an odd year in the ML with only three teams above .500, yet the last place team posted 74 wins. Cincinnati took the second playoff spot at 88-74, one game ahead of Columbus.

No one dominated in the Eastern League, but Philadelphia would take the top spot at 94-68 for their seventh playoff berth in MLB’s first 10 years. Montreal, the highest scoring team in the NA by a healthy 58 run margin, took second at 92-70. Baltimore (89-73), Ottawa (88-74), and New York (87-75) all gave chase to the end.

The MVP race went to Kansas City’s Angel Guerra. A stocky 5’7’’, 200 pound Cuban lefty nicknamed “Bandit,” Guerra was MLB’s first notable two-way player. With just shy of 6 WAR hitting in the outfield and a slightly above average year as a starting pitcher, he received the honor. Cleveland’s Josh Davis posted a career best 9.5 WAR and 1.98 ERA for his third pitcher of the year.

The best two records in the American Association were in the Western League in a fierce battle for first. Phoenix’s AA best 607 runs allowed gave them the duke at 104-58, one game over defending champ Los Angeles at 103-59. It was a top heavy West as Oakland’s 99 wins, Vancouver’s 96, and Denver’s 92 wasn’t enough to push them to the postseason.

Houston won the Southern League at 102-60 and had the MLB’s WARlord in shortstop Dave Douglas, who posted 9.8 WAR in his second year since leaving Cincinnati for the Hornets. The one team to score more than them, the Dallas Dalmatians, took second at 94-68 for their first-ever playoff berth.

San Antonio first baseman Frank Hamman was named AA MVP as the 25-year old left handed slugger led the way with league bests in home runs (51) and RBI (142). Oakland’s Mike Gallegos picked up his only pitcher of the year award with a 21 win, 8.6 WAR season for the Owls.

Phoenix swept Dallas in the first round of the playoffs and Houston knocked out Los Angeles in four, making it Firebirds v. Hornets for the third time in the American Association’s championship in its short history. Houston won the AACS in five games, becoming the first four-time Association champ and giving them four titles in six years.

St. Louis looked to continue their own fledgling dynasty and opened the postseason with a 3-1 win against Montreal. Cincinnati ousted Philadelphia in four to set up another all-Midwest final and a rematch from 1908. The Cardinals topped the Reds in six for a third straight National Association title and a World Series rematch from 1908 with Houston.

The 1910 Series was peculiar in that it went seven games and the road team won every single game. It also guaranteed the first two-time WS champ. Three-time AA MVP Will Miller added World Series MVP to his trophy case as he pushed the Hornets by the Cardinals in seven. It ultimately marked the end of St. Louis’s NA dynasty and served as a flash point on the Houston AA run.

Other notes: official stats started to now accumulate more after 10 years of MLB sanctioned play as seven batters recorded their 1000^th RBI. Two, Houston’s Dave Douglas and Adam Boehm, became the first 1000 run scorers.
