This game can humble you if you are not careful with it and the words of Ty Cobb didnt age well after his highly favored dead ball era club felll hard to the 2007 Twins in a four game sweep. Cobb had called the modern era soft and was passionate about the superiority of the old time game. Johan Santana was out of this world in the series and even though Cobb hit well, the loss opened eyes on how overmatched hitters of old may be overwhelmed when face with a modern arm.

On the other side of the argument stood the 1914 Boston Red Sox, who showed off dead ball era pitching and put away the 105 loss 2010 Pirates. Smoky Joe Wood and Dutch Leonard put ona clinic of control and durability erasing Pittsburgh hopes. The best club in Colorado history didnt have all smooth sailing against the 1982 Pirates but did do enough to win in six including an emphatic 11-2 win at Coors to clinch it. The win brings much home to a much maligned franchise. In a series between two winning sides, Hank Greenberg and the 1940 Tigers showed the 1982 Giants the door winning in just 5 games with the big first baseman driving in nine.

The tournament provides a stage for unsung heroes and the 2019 Indians introduced us to Jordan Luplow who broke out in the series win over the 1955 Orioles. Luplow drove in 15 runs in five game including a two homer, 8 RBI effort in game three. Speaking of Indians, the 1996 club took care of business with their bats beating 1986 Cubs pitching in five games. The muscle tribe scored 30 runs and Kenny Lofton winning the MVP for hitting .375 and scoring 7 runs. Another Colorado team struggled and lost in six games to the 2014 Twins in a series they were expected to win. Danny Santana made a name for himself with 5 doubles and seven RBI.

Bobby Valentine proved his saavy and defeated John McGraw and a confident 1920 Giants team. The 1992 Rangers had the Nolan Ryan card and the veteran legend did not disappoint with two wins while a young Ruben Sierra frustrated Giant pitching. Finally the 1969 Pirates raced past the 2006 Orioles and were lead by who else but the great Roberto Clemente but Bob Moose took the MVP winning twice, striking out 14, and walking only one.
