The Athletics have been incredible in my replay. I think they have 5 World Series rings now and they are in the lead as of July 1917. I have trades set to very low/very hard so there aren't that many trades. This combined with the reserve clause has allowed for teams to remain strong over time. St Louis is just starting to emerge in the NL.
