It was a dogfight all season long in the Continental League with 7 of the 8 teams with a serious chance of taking the ring. The Shamrocks fell to 4th when they lost Michael Patrick for a month midseason, and for most of August and September it appeared that the Cincinnati Scarlets were the heirs apparent as they rode the bats of Shawn Kienast and Chino Smith, the two top power hitters in the CL, to the top of the standings. However, a late surge by the unlikely Brooklyn Perfectos, a team with no standout players, left them on the sidelines as the boys from the Big Apple headed to the World Series.

For the 5th straight year, the Federal League was a story of the haves and the have-nots with one have-everything by the name of the Boston Pilgrims lording over the whole mess. They've had a chip on their shoulders ever since the debacle of the 1934 World Series, when they were upset by their perpetual nemeses, the Shamrocks. With Satchel Paige, who set a new Federal League record for wins with 32, one more than Dummy Leitner's mark in 1901....and one shy of Michael Patrick's mark in the CL, the Pilgrims hit 110 wins for the 3rd straight season. They should walk all over the Perfectos in the World Series. Anything less than that would be embarassing.

RYAN GLEASON, 2B, DETROIT WOLVERINES, 32 Years Old - Any semblance of power is completely gone from Gleason's game, but he's made up for it by continuing to put his bat on the ball. He passed 2000 hits in May and look to be a good bet to reach 3000.

There hasn't been such a lopsided meeting in the postseason in decades. If statistics are the benchmarks for comparing the teams, the Perfectos seem like a AAA squad compared to the monster numbers put up by the Pilgrims. Continental Leagues fans point to the "higher competition" in their league, explaining away the Pilgrims' dominance by claiming weaker opponents....and there may be some validity to that analysis. It's unlikely that it will make much difference, though. The Pilgrims should regain their swagger after this series.

PREDICTION: Pilgrims in 5

1935 WORLD SERIES

9/27/1935 - GAME 1 PILGRIMS 6 - PERFECTOS 9

Brooklyn got out to an early 4-0 lead over Van Mungo, but the Pilgrims battled back to tie it with 4 runs in the 5th. Boston eventually took the lead by 1 in the 7th, but 4 Perfectos runs in the bottom half of the inning put the game out of reach, despite being outhit 17 to 10. John Stone led the way with 3 hits and 3 RBI.

9/28/1935- GAME 2 PILGRIMS 2 - PERFECTOS 3, 10 innings

Elmer Miller surprisingly held his own against Satchel Paige, allowing the bullpen to come in and shut the Pilgrims down the rest of the way. In the 10th, with the game tied at 2, pinch-hitter Terry Moore extended the game by reaching on a John Beckwith error and Jimmy O'Connell knocked him in one out later to put the Perfectos up 2 games to zip in front of a jubilant crowd. The Boston dugout is mute with silence.

9/30/1935 - GAME 3 PERFECTOS 4 - PILGRIMS 0

Ray Prim continues the amazing Brooklyn dominance with a 4-0 whitewashing of Boston. The Pilgrims again outhit the Perfectos, but Brooklyn's hits are much more timely. Joe Medwick leads with 2 hits and 2 RBI. One more win and the Pilgrims could be the victim of the greatest upset in decades.

10/1/1935 - GAME 4 PERFECTOS 2 - PILGRIMS 3

John Beckwith somewhat made up for his Game 2 error by leading the Pilgrims with a double and a triple, and holding off the Perfectos for at least one more game. With Satchel Paige pitching next, the momentum has a chance a shifting, but can they come back from a 3 game deficit?

10/2/1935 - GAME 5 PERFECTOS 5 - PILGRIMS 4

The Brooklyn magic appeared to have faded as Satchel Paige held the Perfectos bats at bay for 8 innings. Down 4-2 in the 9th, it appeared that Game 6 was an inevitability, but Joe Medwick had other ideas, knocking 2 runs and sparking a rally off Paige that eventually gave them the game and the series before a disgusted Boston crowd. Perhaps the Pilgrims 5 straight World Series appearances are simply the result of weaker competition in the Federal League after all.

We'll be having occasional delays in this since I'm now the commissioner of a league: PBRL. Whenever we enter the offseason, my attention will be entirely focussed on getting the next season ready.

Right now we're heading into 1916 and I have a ton of work getting players back from the Federal League, in addition to the usual rigmarole.

I should have some more posts in 2-3 days.

The Shamrocks fell to 4th when they lost Michael Patrick for a month midseason, and for most of August and September it appeared that the Cincinnati Scarlets were the heirs apparent as they rode the bats of Shawn Kienast and Chino Smith, the two top power hitters in the CL, to the top of the standings. However, a late surge by the unlikely Brooklyn Perfectos, a team with no standout players, left them on the sidelines as the boys from the Big Apple headed to the World Series.

They've had a chip on their shoulders ever since the debacle of the 1934 World Series, when they were upset by their perpetual nemeses, the Shamrocks. With Satchel Paige, who set a new Federal League record for wins with 32, one more than Dummy Leitner's mark in 1901....and one shy of Michael Patrick's mark in the CL, the Pilgrims hit 110 wins for the 3rd straight season. They should walk all over the Perfectos in the World Series. Anything less than that would be embarassing. __________________ Commissioner - PBRL - Just finished 2009 109 seasons and still running strong!!!

If statistics are the benchmarks for comparing the teams, the Perfectos seem like a AAA squad compared to the monster numbers put up by the Pilgrims. Continental Leagues fans point to the "higher competition" in their league, explaining away the Pilgrims' dominance by claiming weaker opponents....and there may be some validity to that analysis. It's unlikely that it will make much difference, though. The Pilgrims should regain their swagger after this series.

metsgeek Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Norwood, MA Posts: 5,450	1935 WORLD SERIES 9/27/1935 - GAME 1 PILGRIMS 6 - PERFECTOS 9 Brooklyn got out to an early 4-0 lead over Van Mungo, but the Pilgrims battled back to tie it with 4 runs in the 5th. Boston eventually took the lead by 1 in the 7th, but 4 Perfectos runs in the bottom half of the inning put the game out of reach, despite being outhit 17 to 10. John Stone led the way with 3 hits and 3 RBI. 9/28/1935- GAME 2 PILGRIMS 2 - PERFECTOS 3, 10 innings Elmer Miller surprisingly held his own against Satchel Paige, allowing the bullpen to come in and shut the Pilgrims down the rest of the way. In the 10th, with the game tied at 2, pinch-hitter Terry Moore extended the game by reaching on a John Beckwith error and Jimmy O'Connell knocked him in one out later to put the Perfectos up 2 games to zip in front of a jubilant crowd. The Boston dugout is mute with silence. 9/30/1935 - GAME 3 PERFECTOS 4 - PILGRIMS 0 Ray Prim continues the amazing Brooklyn dominance with a 4-0 whitewashing of Boston. The Pilgrims again outhit the Perfectos, but Brooklyn's hits are much more timely. Joe Medwick leads with 2 hits and 2 RBI. One more win and the Pilgrims could be the victim of the greatest upset in decades. 10/1/1935 - GAME 4 PERFECTOS 2 - PILGRIMS 3 John Beckwith somewhat made up for his Game 2 error by leading the Pilgrims with a double and a triple, and holding off the Perfectos for at least one more game. With Satchel Paige pitching next, the momentum has a chance a shifting, but can they come back from a 3 game deficit? 10/2/1935 - GAME 5 PERFECTOS 5 - PILGRIMS 4 The Brooklyn magic appeared to have faded as Satchel Paige held the Perfectos bats at bay for 8 innings. Down 4-2 in the 9th, it appeared that Game 6 was an inevitability, but Joe Medwick had other ideas, knocking 2 runs and sparking a rally off Paige that eventually gave them the game and the series before a disgusted Boston crowd. Perhaps the Pilgrims 5 straight World Series appearances are simply the result of weaker competition in the Federal League after all. 1935 WORLD CHAMPS - BROOKLYN PERFECTOS 3rd Championship SERIES MVP: Joe Medwick - .545, 1 2b, 1 HR, 7 RBI __________________ Commissioner - PBRL - Just finished 2009 109 seasons and still running strong!!!
