It's spring time and 1921 makes no difference...baseball is in the air. But 1920 saw the discover of a parallel world in which baseball is a big part of it, so there is no difference --> spring time is baseball time. But things could go in a very different way here...

Spring training saw a trade between Indians and Pirates, with Indians acquiring SP Wilbur Cooper for C Ginger Shinault and a minor leaguer; Pirates also sign 1B Brief in free agency and prediction for WS is Yankees vs Reds. No season can start without a top prospect list, so here we are:

1) Goose Goslin, LF (Senators)
2) Ray Blades, 2B (Cardinals)
3) Lew Fonseca, 1B (Reds)
4) Pie Traynor, 3B (Pirates)
5) Pete Donohue, SP (Reds)
6) George Grantham, 3B (Cubs)
7) Kiki Cuyler, LF (Pirates)
8) Topper Rignes, SS (Tigers)
9) Riggs Stephenson, 2B (Indians)
10) Syl Johnson, SP (Cardinals)

AMERICAN LEAGUE RECAP
Season started with 5 teams competing closely, creating a gap with other 3 teams (Red Sox, Athletics and Browns). At the end of April the leading team was Washington Senators (14-4), with Indians and Yankees respectively 1 and 2 games back. The latest member of Cleveland Indians, Cooper, started on fire with 4 wins and an ERA under 2.00 while Babe Ruth connected with 6 dingers on first 18 games. On injury side, to note the long absence by 2B Del Pratt (Red Sox), which will be sidelined for 5 months.
During May an incredible 23-6 run gave Senators a 37-10 record, with 4 and half game lead on Indians and a 10 game lead on White Sox. George Sisler (Browns) and Bobby Veach (Tigers) are above .400 on BA while Babe Ruth (Yankees) and Elmer Smith (Indians) are tied with 11 HR; on pitching side already 10 wins for Wilbur Cooper (Indians). To note an astonishing 9 RBI game for Elmer Miller (Yankees) in a 22-5 win against the Browns (4/7, 1 Grand Slam, 2 3B).
In June Senators continued their run, extending their lead to 10 and half game on Indians and Yankees; Sislers continued batting over .400 while Ruth led HR with 17. To note the Red Sox sent Pug Cavet (SP) to Reds for veteran 1B Jake Daubert. In July there were many trades, but no impact player came to an AL Team (as we note in National League recap, three important players left the AL (Barnes, Rigney, Wheat). In standings, Senators showed some fatigue, as their lead trimmed to 3 and half game (70-35) on Indians, with White Sox and Yankees respectively 8 and 9 and half game back. Ruth continues crushing the ball, but the attention in stats is for George Sisler, who is still batting .411 with two months to go. Approaching September, Senators rebounded and extended their lead to 9 games on Indians. 5 teams out of 8 are already out of contention with beginning of the last month (Tigers, Browns, Red Sox and Athletics), Sisler is still batting .412 and SP Stan Covelesky (CLE) and Dickey Kerr (White Sox) are 1 W shy of 20. No surprises on last month, with Senators clinching World Series with a 102-51 Record, with a 11 game lead on Indians. George Sisler won the BA award, but avg fell under .400; Babe is the HR King with 42 (a enormous 11.4 WAR!) while Stan Coveleski (Indians) led the ERA rankings (2.70)
