The St. Louis Browns finished with an 84-52 record good for 2nd place in the AL 8 games behind the Bahstan Pootbeaners. All in all, it was a much better year than most pundits anticipated. Certainly a better year than my owner anticipated. His goal for the season was not to suck completely. It's sad losing out to those damn Pootbeaners and their trashy fans. They brought their Royal Rooters singing section to St. Louis for the final series of the season between them and the Browns and a brawl broke out in the stands between them and a group of our fans. Owner Jimmy "the Rat" Egan had all the Bahstan fans ejected from the grounds.

The first move I made after the season was to fire our troublesome bench coach, Big Tim Harrington, and replace him with Sam Thompson, whom I'd signed midway through last season as a player coach. Harrington reportedly went to Jimmy Egan and pleaded for his job back but the Rat told him that I was in charge of all the hiring and firing decisions. He gave Big Tim a job in one of his saloons as a consolation.

Our players received some post-season honors. Johnny Evers got AL Rookie of the Year whilst Jesse Burkett was crowned AL Batting Champ and AL MVP. Jack Powell finished runner-up for the AL Cy Young Award behind, who else, Cy Young. Rumor has it that some well placed bribes by the Bahstan owner swayed a couple of undecided voters on the committee. Can't wait until Harry Frazee buys that club but I'm getting way, way ahead of myself here.

Immediately after the season I swapped third basemen with Detroit. We should be getting a slight upgrade based on last year's stats. The winter meetings and the draft are coming up so I'll check in periodically.
