For the second straight season, San Francisco had the best record in MLB. The Gold Rush had an MLB best 105-57 with 917 runs scored. In his third season with San Fran, 32-year old outfielder Jonathan Gibbs won his third career MVP with a 48 home run, 150 RBI season. It was his first MVP since the 1914 season with Columbus and he set career highs. Portland took second in the Western League at 92-70 for their seventh playoff berth in eight years. The Pacifics wouldn’t return to the postseason again until the late 50s.

Atlanta won the Southern League title for the first team in team history with an 101-61 mark. Defending World Series champ Houston was second at 97-65 to return the playoffs. At age 31, Hornets pitcher Newton Persaud won his third Pitcher of the Year, leading the American Association in strikeouts for the fourth straight year and WAR for the fifth.

In a rematch of last year’s AACS, San Francisco edged Houston in five games to advance. The Aces easily swept Portland in the first round, but would fall in five games to the Gold Rush for SF’s first-ever Association title.

The Eastern League had two teams at the top earning their first-ever playoff appearance. Baltimore won the title at 101-61 and Buffalo, who missed out last year despite winning 102 games, took the second spot at 100-62. Defending National Association champ Hartford placed third at 93-69, thwarting a repeat bid. The Orioles had the league MVP in second baseman Norris Thuston, who at only age 22 had a 10.48 WAR season, at the time the third best season from a position player.

In the Midwest League, Kansas City had their first playoff berth in about a decade by taking first at 100-62. Last year’s ML champ Columbus easily took second at 95-67. Washington 30-year old pitcher Jeremiah Jaiboon won his second PotY with a MLB best 2.12 ERA.

The Cougars survived a five-game series with the Blue Sox to advance, while the Orioles swept the Chargers. In the NACS, Baltimore defeated Kansas City in six games to send the Orioles to the World Series along with fellow first-timer San Francisco. The Gold Rush prevailed in five in the Fall Classic. 22-year old outfielder Jo De Groot won World Series MVP, picking up 12 runs, 24 hits, and 14 RBI in 15 playoff games.

Other notes: Portland’s Kyle Bartz became the first player in MLB history to reach 3000 career hits. Bartz would retire after the 1923 season with a total of 3383 hits. He’d become the eighth to reach 1500 career runs scored later in 1921. Houston’s Jonathon Gillette became the third to whack 500 career home runs.
