After two years in second place and an off year in ’44, the Bachelors went out and signed the best player in base ball, their former shortstop
Doc Adams—and it paid off, as Adams (again!) brought the pennant with him to his new team (and won another MVP Award). Although
Nathaniel McNames just wasn’t the same player after last year’s injuries, he was still good—and many of the players around him were great, especially the pitchers.
Quinton Corwine (26-5, 2.20) regained his throne as the league’s best pitcher, and second baseman
Phillip Weeks (.256, 4, 34) was the Rookie of the Year.
