1917 - Under the Hood
- The White Sox look ready to start a dynasty with a 100-win season and WS win over the Giants. Hmmm...
- Slim Sallee never led the league in ERA, neither did Frank Miller or Reb Russell.
- For all their greatness, Pete Alexander never threw a no-no, nor Rajah Hornsby hit for the cycle.
- Tragic Ray Chapman never ned the league in SB.
- While Hippo Vaughn led the league in K in both 1918 and ’19, he never broke the 200 mark in a season.
- The Old Perfessor Casey Stengel never led the league in HR or broke into double figures in that stat cat.
- Ferdie Schupp’s 23 wins in R5x2 nearly matches his historical total in this year, but he never led the league in this category.
- Smoky Joe Wood had 10 career saves.
- Harry Wolter never hit for the cycle.
- Jesse Barnes threw a no-hitter in 1922. Al Demaree never did.
