Week 6 News and Notes from the Hardball Retrospective Turn of the Century (OOTP 17) League (1901-196
Home
Youth was served last week as 23-year-old Doc White put together a remarkable stretch on the mound, outpacing all other National League pitchers and hitters to win Player of the Week honors. The Philadelphia Phillies hurler rang up 10 strikeouts in 9.1 innings, compiling an ERA of 2.89 and posting a fine 3-0 mark. This year White has posted a record of 4 wins and 1 loss with a 2.40 ERA. He has appeared in 20 games and struck out 30 in 30 innings.
Shoeless Joe Jackson has the tools to stick in this league for many years. The 21-year-old right fielder of the Philadelphia Athletics had a pretty hot bat in the American League over the past seven days and won the Player of the Week honors. Jackson batted .440 with 11 hits in 25 at-bats, 1 home run and 5 RBIs. Through 32 games he has posted a .314 batting average to date with 43 hits in 137 at-bats, 19 RBIs, 4 home runs and scored 25 times.
The Senators have fallen on hard times. Following a 12-8 start, Washington proceeded to lose a dozen consecutive contests.
