The Phillies 1903 magic number is down to 1 game. Have to give credit to the Pirates though, as they refused to give up the fight. The state of Pennsylvania should be proud.

In the AL the White Sox have a 3 game lead over 3 teams, the Browns, the Higlanders and the Americans. The Americans struggled for most of the season but a hot August and September allowed them to move towards the top of the division. Two time MVP Mickey Mantle played a huge role in the American's improvement. Mantle rode a 28 game hitting streak to the top of the AL batting crown race. I have a feeling he is in line to win a 3rd MVP.

In the NL, I'm guessing Mike Trout will take home his second MVP. Trout is a hitting right around .300 with 21 home runs, 75 RBI and 27 stolen bases. I think WAR will crown him MVP. Honus Wagner is once again in line to win the batting crown and If I had a vote, I just might give the MVP nod to Wagner. He's hit for power in 1903 and his average is 25+ points higher than Trout.
