The Expos continued to plummet, finishing 61-95, the worst record in the National League. This has become a dismal sad-sack of a team. Bobby Brock was the team's nominal "ace," going 7-14 with a 6.16 ERA. The team's top hitter (Danny Steele) hit .275 with 23 home runs, but is a immobile statue in right field. The team's second-best hitter (Luis Trevinio, also known as the "Sheriff of Swattingham," even though he's from Venezuela) is best known for his wife complaining about the fans in Los Angeles. It's not good.

The San Francisco Giants won the World Series in seven games over the Red Sox. Neither team won more than 84 games, and the Giants snuck in as the worst playoff team by record in the NL. Chad Workman won the NL MVP (his seventh overall MVP) with a 10-WAR season, and hit his 500th career home run. Cody Bellinger hit his 700th home run; the 41-year-old Bellinger has spent his whole career with the Dodgers, but he's pretty much cooked at this point, hitting .148 this season. Ronald Acuna Jr. got his 3000th hit and retired after the season. Blaze Jordan (LAA) hit his 400th career home run. Manny Machado was elected to the Hall of Fame- Machado had 68 WAR and was an Oriole for his whole career.
