Seeding Round League 5
Settings year:
1977 with DH
Highlights:
In only 5 leagues we have our first franchise to have two teams in the top 300. The 1950 Brooklyn Dodgers beat the 1942 St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 to earn a spot in the top 300 teams. The 1884 Washington Nationals become the first team to advance out of the Seeding Round from the Union Association. The craziest individual season so far has to go to Monte Ward of the 1880 Providence Grays. The 1880 Providence Grays only had two pitchers. However, they relied on Ward to pitch double the number of innings of the other pitcher. In his 824 innings pitched, he was able to score 499 strike-outs, over 200 more than anyone else has in any league to this point. Unfortunately, the positives stop there. Ward gave up 246 HRs on his own, more than all but 1 other team in all 5 leagues, on his way to -23.4 WAR. The final Round 1 spot went to the 1894 Chicago Colts after they beat the 1934 New York Giants in 5 games.
