We've just completed the 1924 season and we're looking for a pair of owners:
Pittsburgh Pirates: The Pirates finished at 84-70, good enough for 2nd place, and feature one of the leagues better pitching staffs. Ace Earl Yingling (20-10, 2.94) and Harry Keupper (20-10, 3.20) both won 20 games, while Bill Doak (11-11, 3.83) has reached that mark previously. Riggs Stephenson (.387-7-79) lead the team in hitting while Les Bell (.328-5-107) and Phil Todt (.299-13-101) both reached the 100 RBI plateau.
Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillies had a rougher time this past season, limping home with a 67-87 mark. On the bright side, the Phillies do have the top-ranked minor league system featuring Tony Murray (.287-3-16), Showboat Fisher (.270-2-24), Earl Whitehill (14-11, 4.31) and Lena Styles (.269-1-17), all of whom rank among the league's top-50 prospects. Still working their way through the system are Skinny Graham (AAA: 15-9, 2.54), Ted Wingfield (AAA: 16-11, 2.57) and Mickey Cochrane (A: .220-0-6).
