It sure looks like the World Champion New Orleans Jazzcats are the cream of the crop again this season. They are the only team in either league with a particularly impressive record. They are 25-12 so far with a +25 run differential. Can they repeat?
The team is managed by John McGraw, last year's manager of the year. The rotation includes Big Ed Walsh, Eddie Plank, Fred Glade and Bob Wicker, a pretty strong four. And the lineup includes Nap Lajoie backed by Socks Seybold, Sport McAllister, Harry Bay and others. Ed McFarland is having a huge year at catcher with a nearly 900 OPS.
