The Cincinnati Reds are looking like the "Team of the Teens" so far, with pennants in '10 and '11, a World Series victory in '11, and a 1912 team which is moving through the National League like a runaway train.

The Reds are batting .315 as a TEAM. "Surprise" stars like right fielder Mike Mitchell (.370-3-58), center fielder Rebel Oakes (.365-2-69) and third baseman Eddie Tiemeyer (.360-3-60) are leading the charge. The leading pitchers are Roy Hitt (22-5, 3.22), Jean Dubuc (15-4, 2.84), and the incomparable Del Mason (18-9, 2.65).

Yes, you read that right...the incomparable Del Mason. Del has been the most dominant pitcher in the National League since he became a starter in 1909, with records of 23-9, 29-9, and 27-8. His ERA has never been higher than 2.48 in a season since then, and he won the NL Outstanding Pitcher Award in 1910 and 1911.

On the other hand, how would you like to be a "base ball" fan in St. Louis right now? The Browns and Cardinals together haven't won as many games as the Red Sox have.
