A great series of games in the section as the Yankees continuie their dominant play in the Field of Dreams as the 2022 club behind the hammer of Aaron Judge defeated the 1945 Phillies. Judge hit six home runs and drove in 13 runs in his best Babe Ruth impression; the mighty Yankees now 16-3 in the prelims. Just as dominant was the arm of Sonny Gray who pitched his heart out including a no hitter against the 1906 champion White Sox. But in seven games it was the Chicago arms of Ed Walsh and Doc White that eliminated the Reds in seven.

Christy Mathewson built on his legend for the 1908 Giants. The great Mathewson pitched in two complete game wins allowing only one run and in a 15 inning battle in game five, Mathewson on no days rest pitched 4.1 scoreless innings to clinch the series. Shohei Ohtani has less luck especially at the plate where he was shut down, but him arm did earn a win against the 2004 Braves. Chipper Jones and the Braves did not looked troubled in the end disposing of Los Angeles in five games.

The 1992 Reds lead by Barry Larkin were too much for the 1997 Tigers as the Reds took care of things in five. White the 2008 Cubs struggled early in their series against the 1944 Senators but Derrick Lee lead an onslaught and Chicago won four in a row to surge to victory. The 2007 Blue Jays swept the 1979 Athletics who played like they didnt want to be there. The only team to win as the underdog in the section were the 1971 Brewers who won four straight after losing the firs two to the 1935 Indians. Ron Theobald earning MVP honors.

A 40 year old Babe Ruth was paraded out by the 1935 Braves. Ruth didnt do much but the Braves gave the Cubs a full run for their money taking them to seven games as Wally Berger impressed. The Cubs did warp things up tightly in game seven with a 7-0 win behind Bill Bonham to avoid embarrassment to a 115 loss team. Finally the 1992 California Angels needed all seven games in a good series with the 1922 Phillies. Luis Sojo hit a big two run home run in game seven and won MVP honors for hsi efforts.
