A second season under their belt, the AA looks like a legit league. They have their own stars and have a good competitive balance.
Louisville - Pretty solid all season. Guy Hecker and Sam Weaver traded off pitching duties and there was never really a drop off from either. The lineup was steady and the team looks like one to beat for a couple of years.
St. Louis - They lost 3 of 4 to Louisville in early August and that's what cost them. A good team, nice pitching duo of Mullane and McGinnis and the lineup scores runs. Honestly this team should have won. The fact they fired their manager in early September should tell you a few things.
Cincinnati - Started out rough, limped along and came on strong in Aug & Sept. Will White, again led the way. The lineup was the same as the pennant winning team, it just took longer to get going this year.
Philadelphia - For a time in August it seemed they were the only team that could beat Louisville, but just never got to 1st place.
New York - Welcome NY! John Day bought into both leagues, and while his Gothams in the NL weren't great, this team came out firing. They came back to Earth and did well enough down late, but the other teams, right now, are better.
Baltimore - After a disaster of a debut season, this one started off just as bad. But a couple roster moves, and the addition of Hardie Henderson and Bob Emslie righted the ship and the team looked decent at the end.
Columbus - Welcome Columbus, Ohio! The team did not play well. Pitching woes dogged them all year.
