Update on the 1888 season

Sam Brown wins the Pitching Triple Crown

I hadn't realized this and the game didn't officially register it as so. Here are the details.

Wolverhampton's Brown finished with a 1.92 ERA, 16 wins and 102 strikeouts. Louis Anderson also won 16 games but he has a higher ERA and about half the amount of stikeouts.

Because the game says "qualified" is any pitcher who threw at least one inning per team game and there are only 22 games to be played in the season, Blackburn's Jason Simpson (23.2 IP in 4 games) finished atop the ERA leaderboard, denying Brown the triple crown in-game.

Since I chose the award winners (mostly to keep the Young Player of the Year actually young and not just any rookie because the game will pick the best rookie even if he is a 28-year-old), I decided that in order to be "qualified" you must have played in at least 80% of your team's games (18 games). That would disqualify Simpson from winning the triple crown as he is not a qualified pitcher.

Here are the leaderboards:
