1947 No Trade Team

It's another close series as the Sailors and Pioneers are tied at two. The last two games have been as tight as it gets, with both teams winning 3-2 games. The Pioneers did it in regulation while the Sailors needed an extra inning, scoring a pair in the 9th and then 10th to walk it off. One more game in Philly, but the Pioneers will be guaranteed for the series to end on their turf. Whether that means six games, seven, a win, or a loss is up in the air. Selfishly, I want the Sailors winning it in six so the offseason can start, but as a fan its tough to root against a game seven. They're the best!

Notable Prospects/Picks Traded
April 1947: Traded Pat Todd and Kid Moore to the Wolves for Walt Pack
July 1947: Traded Jim Mako, Carl Clark, and a 1st Round Pick for Sal Pestilli
July 1947: Traded Joe Austin and Zeke Johnson to the Saints for Red Bond

The no-trade team did a bit better then the real one, but the struggles of Leo Mitchell, Carlos Montes, and Pete Papenfus dragged this team now. We would have had huge implications on the Fed race, as I don't think the Pioneers do what they did without Danny Hern, but the Sailors would be pretty much untouched. The young pitching here is immense, but the outfield was thin. Sure, a no trade team probably has Johnny Peters in the outfield all year, but this team comes fall short just like the real one. Unless luck was on our side!
