The 1913 season could go down as the greatest in AHBL history. 2 amazing races. In the Cartwright, Worcester seemed to have it all the way until the hapless Philadelphia Founders who had never had a winning season before, won 9 straight and took the pennant. In the end, they were a full 10 games better than they should have been, one of the luckiest seasons I have seen,
And the race in the Wheaton was even better. Four teams: Chicago, Cleveland, Louisville and New Orleans all battled for the top spot, usually within a game of each other. In the end, the Firemen would repeat but only topping Cleveland and Louisville (which had perhaps the best pitching and the worst hitting in the league) by a game and New Orleans by 2.
