Denver had the best record in baseball for the third straight season as the Dragons finished 115-47; their best mark yet. Denver had the highest attendance in baseball (2,640,779 over the season) and the highest payroll. Portland placed second in the Western League at 97-65, beting out Los Angeles (93-69) and Phoenix (90-72). 22-year old designated hitter Walter Seda won MVP in his sophomore season for the Pacifics.

Defending World Series champ Memphis dominated the Southern League at 101-61. Charlotte took the second place wild card spot at 86-76, edging New Orleeans (84-78) and Jacksonville (82-80). 23-year old Amo Smart from Albuquerque was Pitcher of the Year with the AA lead in wins (24) and ERA (2.40).

Denver dispatched Charlotte in four games in the first round of the playoffs. The stunner came on the other side as Portland shocked Memphis in five games. The Pacifics then shocked the Dragons by winning the AACS in six games, ending another season in disappointment for Denver and giving Portland its first Association title.

The Midwest League was top heavy in 1916 with four teams getting 92 wins or more. Indianapolis was back-to-back champ at 100-62, beating out Milwaukee (99-63) in the Mustangs’ first playoff berth since winning the World Series in 1904. Louisville was third (94-68), then Omaha (92-70).

The Eastern League had Hartford on top at 95-68 for their first league title and fourth playoff berth in six years. Washington also earned their fourth appearance in six years by finishing second at 89-73, one up over last year’s NA champ Montreal. New York’s Jonathan Goldstein won back-to-back MVPs with another 50+ home run season and Owen Swanson got his third Pitcher of the Year with Columbus on a career-high 270 strikeouts and 10.6 WAR.

The Racers swept the Admirals in the first round and the Huskies battled for a 3-2 series win against the Mustangs. In the National Association Championship Series, Hartford edged Indianapolis in seven games for their first Association title. In the first World Series appearance for both teams, the Huskies defeated the Pacifics in six games. Centerfielder Kody Moreland earned WS MVP, having 13 hits, five doubles, and three home runs in eight playoff starts.

Other notes: St. Louis pitcher Quadir Pitman threw MLB’s fourth perfect game, recording four strikeouts against Columbus on 8/18. Denver’s Jason Salvage became the first player to 500 career home runs with Vancouver’s Josh Noble doing it as well two months later. Casey Esnault of Omaha became the first pitcher to reach 3500 career strikeouts. Vancouver right fielder Joe Daniels won his 10^th Gold Glove.
