A few seasons back I finished 30 games over .500 with a +54 RunDiff & lost to Brooklyn in the playoffs (LDS)...So far this season we have climbed 19 games over .500 with a +29 RunDiff so it brings back memories of that week a bit.
'Wee' Willie Keeler (known in some circles as the best pure hitter in the game) is hitting .223 in 166 ABs.
Otherwise...Lou Gehrig & Darryl Strawberry (both representing NY) got off to very nice warm (hot in Gehrig's case) starts/player of the week for Straw...
& the pitching has been good, very good except for Sandy Koufax & Jacob deGrom. In fact, that's probably what has allowed us to win in part without piling on the runs.
