SUPERBAS DOWN SENATORS IN EXCITING SEVEN-GAME SERIES
The Brooklyn Superbas overcame a slow start that saw them drop the first two games of the World Series at home to take four of the next five and defeat the Washington Senators in seven games for the franchise's first World Series championship.
Series MVP Nick Johnson (.355), Todd Benzinger (.333) and Lou Finney (.323) led the way for the Superbas while Javier Valentin was 2-1, including the win in the decisive game seven. The Senators' Fred Tenney was the Series' best hitter, with a .471 average.
WHITE SOX STRIKE IT LUCKY IN LOTTERY
The Chicago White Sox, who finished with the third-worst record in BaTTY won the first overall pick for the 1907 draft in the league's annual draft lottery. The most likely candidate for the first overall pick appears to be southpaw hurler Warren Spahn, although there are plenty of good players available in the draft.
