A lot going on down the stretch in the World Baseball League:

*Ty Cobb gets hit #3000 and wins the batting title in the Eastern League. It was his first batting title since 1915.
*Montreal wins the pennant and will play San Francisco in the World Series. It is the first time for the Montreal franchise in the Series, while San Francisco will go for the third straight year. SF is still looking for their first title.
*Babe Ruth had another incredible season. He finishes first in homers (16), OBP and OPS. Batting WAR was 8.6 He also went 27-14, first in wins, 2nd in ERA and 6.0 in pitching WAR for a total WAR of 14.6. That would certainly make it the greatest season in WBL history. Rube Waddell's 14.4 WAR from the mound in 1903 is the only player above 14 previously.
