1922 MLB Standings
“Alright, let’s get to it here. Couple of things jump out at you right away. In the American League, the Indians — Cleveland — absolutely ran away with it. 113 wins, best record in baseball in the AL. That’s dominance, folks. The Yankees were terrific too, 101 wins, they cruise in the East, never challenged. And then in the West, Seattle edges out Texas by two games, Houston grabs a wild card spot at 87 wins. So your AL wild card: Houston vs. Texas, White Sox vs. Seattle. Lotta intrigue there.
Now, over to the National League. And here’s the big story: the Mets. An historic season. 122 wins, .753 winning percentage — folks, that’s one of the greatest regular seasons you’ll ever see. They lapped the field, won the East by 44 games. In the Central, Milwaukee takes it by a game over Pittsburgh, with Cincinnati right there too. Out West, the Dodgers, steady as always, 97 wins, best in that division. So the wild card matchups line up: Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh, Milwaukee vs. St. Louis.
So, quick snapshot: Cleveland, Yankees, Seattle, Dodgers, Mets — your big dogs. The Mets the team to beat, Cleveland not far behind. Wild cards loaded with rivalry games: Texas and Houston, Cincy and Pittsburgh, Milwaukee and St. Louis. Classic baseball matchups.
That’s your October, folks. Lotta juice here. Mets, Indians on a collision course, but ya gotta play the games.”
