11/1/1906 - Season wrap-up
Obviously reading the season wrap-up means that we didn't finish the season how we wanted. After winning the first two games against the White Sox, and it looked like we could pull off a miracle.
Unfortunately, the White Sox swept both ends of a doubleheader which eliminated us from the postseason. I don't want to place too much blame on injuries, but it was a rough year and it was obvious a couple of my moves didn't really pay off this year.
The Pirates ended up winning their third straight World Series.
We ended up losing four players to retirement:
SS Rich Morales
LF MikeDonlin
SS Gil Garrido
C Mike Lieberthal
In the draft we ended up selecting 2B Nellie Fox with our top pick. LF Hector Cruz was our second pick, catcher John Russell our third pick, shortstop Dan Coogan our fourth pick, and catcher Bill Freehan our final pick.
