Metaphysical League Baseball (MLB)
1925 Season

The Brooklyn Robins, after 4 disappointing seasons, were determined to make a run in 1925. They traded for SP turned Closer John Smoltz from the Yankees and teamed him with Francisco Rodriguez to form the best bullpen in baseball. Add the rotation of Jake Peavy, Bret Saberhagen, Don Gullett, Jim Clancy and Trevor Cahill and the Robins’ staff was formidable. Their bigger question was could they generate enough offense. Enter pick 1-8, Rookie of the Year CF Ginger Beaumont, who proceeded to produce an 8-102-.350-43 stat line with 119 runs, and the Robins would win the NL pennant by a comfortable 7 games over the Cubs.

Their World Series challenge would be tougher, however because the Red Sox were back for the 4th time in 5 seasons, having outlasted the Senators by 4 games. Ty Cobb was his usually brilliant self at 10-91-.401-68 for the Sox. Pitcher Bob Black took Pitcher of the year honors yet again with a 23-11-9-2.97 record.

Unfortunately both clubs would be without their CFs, Cobb and Beaumont, due to injury for the World Series, making the outcome anyone’s guess. However the Red Sox had experience and they had Bob Black, winning in 5 games as Black went 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA to win series MVP.

Other notable performances:

Gavvy Cravath, Was, put down his claim as the top power hitter of his era, crushing the MLB single-season records for HR: 33 (prev 27 by Cravath), RBI: 161 (prev 142), and 2B: 55 (prev 53). On 5/16 he went 5/5 with 3 HR (including a Grand Slam), 3B, 2B and 10 RBI. By the end of the season, Cravath had 157 HR, with 4 of Mickey Mantle for the All-Time lead.

The leagues’ outstanding hitters:
Rogers Hornsby hit .408 to beat out Cobb for the AL batting title with a 24-107-.408 line.
Honus Wagner posted a 13-76-.399-60 line to lead the NL in batting.

Nap Lajoie, 39, Bro-PhiN, retired after 19 seasons, holding MLB career records for AB, R, H, TB, 1B, 2B, RBI. Hi Final Line in 2499 G: 43-1160-.307-662, 3129 H; played on 4 NL Championship teams, 1 Batter of the Year, RBI leader 4 times, Batting leader 3 times, 6 Gold Gloves.

Milestones:

Mickey Mantle and Chipper Jones each reached hit #2500

Fleury Sullivan reached win #250
Doc McJames reached win #200
