1899: Get your Phil

The Phillies, led by Ed Delahanty and Nap Lajoie, practically lapped the National League with 113 wins, while the Dodgers edge out the Braves for second place:

...while the Spiders finish six whole games in front of their historical record with a sizzling 26-128 mark! (I told you those extra home games would be the difference...!)

Meanwhile, the Hoosiers take the WL flag, while the Bisons and the Tigers tie for second. Buffalo wins the one-game playoff, though, sending them to the Dauvray Cup Finals:

The WL playoff series goes the full seven games, with Indianapolis coming out on top:

The Hoosiers score three times in the ninth to win it! What a thriller!
