Thanks to Matt for the 1947 league file, these are the results for the leaders in Win Shares in 1947:

Code:

Batters

1.    Ray Kress             DET    37.9
2.    Skeeter Schaldemose   CIN    34.5
3.    Tom Howard 	    NYG    34.2
4.    Harry Badeau 	    PHA    30.6
5.    Vern Piernatzski      SLA    30.3

Pitchers

1.    Billy Simson          SLA    33.8
2.    James Mosich          BOS    30.5
3.    Bob Bussmann 	    CHA    29.8
4.    Mickey Lonergan       PHI    28.3
5.    Bill Finley 	    WSH    28.2

Less for Howard than I would have expected. Kress did put up a .352-40-118 line, compared to Howards .352-33-137, so you can see why Kress would have more WS.

Overall, 1947 was a bigger offensive year in general than 1946, with the AL total ERA jumping from 4.06 to 4.31, so individual offensive numbers yield fewer Win Shares.

If anyone is curious, Skeeter Schaldemose has the most "career" win shares through the two seasons.
