Season 6
Final New York And LA Take Top Season six was the season of big cities with 5 teams from New York or Los Angeles. To top the list was none other than the 2003 Yankees lead by Joe Torre who batted the Mets all season to finally take the pennant. Mariano Rivera saved 39 games and allowed 10 earned runs all season long. Jorge Posada hammered 35 home runs and despite Roger Clemens fighting injuries, the Yanks pitching had the best ERA in the league lead by Andy Pettite who won 18 games. The club won 27 of their last 40 games to take the title. The 1973 Dodgers won 20 games in September and made their run for the pennant but a slow first half held them to 95 wins. Don Sutton won the pitching triple crown winning 24 games and striking out 294 batters. Sutton was just absolutely dominant but he had help as Andy Messersmith won 21 games and Jim Brewer was great out of the pen. The Dodgers also ranked as the top defensive team and Walter Alston had this team finishing strong. Willie Davis hit .314 and drove in 90 runs to lead the offense. The 2006 Mets started strong and even finishing third with a slow finish impressed in season 6. The Mets using pitching and speed to win games and Jose Reyes proved his worth with an incredible season on the bases with 119 stolen bases. Tom Glavine won 19 games and along with Pedro Martinez proved that age is not a factor in good pitching. Carlos Delgado hammered 39 home runs while Carlos Beltran had 35 with both men over 100 RBI. The Mets had 30 win in the first two months of the season, but had a losing record in September. The 1978 Dodgers had their ups and downs and it times it looked like they would not finish in the top 4. An 11 win June had Tom Lasorda and his team looking for adjustments, and this Dodger team did turn it around. Steve Garvey had 124 RBI and played a graceful first base while Davey Lopes stole 71 bases and scored 110 runs. Burt Hooten ended the season in the pen after a tough first half and Rick Rhoden filled in well down the stretch. The pen in the end saved this team alot of games. Mel Ott had an MVP type season driving in a league leading 148 runs and hit .313. The 1936 Giants lead the league in average and were second in runs but were in far too many high scoring games. Their defense was at the bottom of the league and their pen was of very little help. Carl Hubbell was good when he started but injuries limited him. The Giants tried as they may but in the end did not play as well as their talent would have expected. Hank Aaron only hit 24 home runs but hit .353 and drove in 100 runs. It was a fine season for Aaron but his 1958 Braves were not consistent enough to get where they wanted. Other then Aaron the Braves offense was worst in the league even as Wes Covington made the most of his chances with 45 home runs. Andy Pafko failed to hit his weight and Eddie Mathews drove in on 74 runs with a .257 average. The pitching was mediocre in the end and not a single arm struck out more than 200 batters. Ted Williams did it again. The legend ended the season with a .410 average and 222 hits, 48 of them home runs. Williams had an incredible 14.6 WAR and walked over 160 times. It was good practice not to take your eyes off the Boston star as little by the rest of the 1941 Red Sox did very much. The team pitching was worse in the game with not a single arm able to win over 10 games. Boston went 3-13 to start the season and won only 9 games in August making it a long hot summer. Still the pursuit of Williams and .400 was a joy to watch, and there never should have been a doubt if he would do it, Williams came up just short in RBI for his triple crown bid. The 1936 Cardinals lost 102 games and didn't seem challenged to push out of the cellar. Dizzy Dean was the only expected star of this team and his 20 win and 236 strikeouts fit the bill. His brother Paul however lost 22 games and the Cardinal pitching was a tough watch this season. Johnny Mize and Joe Medwick were a good duo in the middle of the order but a lack of pop and clutch hitting produce lackluster run totals. Fifty seven losses on the road and 10 losses in extra innings help better explain the 102 losses. |

Season 7
Final Koufax Dominates Season 7; Rangers Raise Flag It is difficult to imagine Sandy Koufax being any better than he was in season seven, winning 30 games and almost single handedly raising the 1962 Dodgers to the coveted 4th place finish. However in the end it was the surprising 2011 Texas Rangers that took pennant honors. In Texas Ron Washington kept his team believing. The name that lead this club on the field was none other than Adrien Beltre, who proved once again just how good he is. Fifty six home runs and 131 driven in while batting .331 gave pitchers heartburn all season long. Beltre lifted his teammates with his spirit while on the other side CJ Wilson threw gem after gem winning 29 games and hitting at ERA of 2.62. It seemed as this team grew stronger towards the end of the season, finishing with 19 wins in September. The Athletics were the favorites and after an inconsistent start, a 12 game winning streak in August put a fire under Connie Mack's and they won 95 games; but more may have been expected. Al Simmons won the batting title and finished with 8.7 WAR while his partnership with Jimmie Foxx ravaged opponents, Foxx drove in 134 runs. Yes Lefty Grove was good but it was George Eranshaw who earned the title of ace for this club logging the most innings and the most wins. Way too much talent on this club not be one of the favorites in any season they play in. The championship swagger of the 1993 Phillies showed itself much more so than the 1980 team did. This team pulled it together when it needed to and found a way to win. The pitching staff lead by Curt Schilling and Danny Jackson was the strength of this team, while John Kruk and Lenny Dykstra paced an offence that at times could be feast or famine. Lonnie Smith lead the league with 59 steals and Larry Anderson took over the closer's role from Mitch Williams which became a crucial move late in the season. Philly ends up loving teams like this, as the Phils allowed less runs then any club other than the Dodgers. Koufax's arm is gold. He threw over 350 innings, struck out 483 batters and won 30 games. He was in all sense of the word dominant and gave the Dodgers just what they needed to finish in the top four. There was little help around the lefty and at times the club struggled especially on offense. They were the fastest club in the league as Maury Wills stole 54 bases and Willie Davis 57; one run became vital in most of the low scoring games the Dodgers played in. The Dodgers pen struggled, forcing most starters to go deep into each outing. The 1985 Blue Jays went from last to 5th during the passing of the season but just couldn't do enough to break the top. The offense was well poised with Tony Fernandez scoring over 100 runs and George Bell slugging close to .600 and Jesse Barfield driving in over 100 runs. The Jays had the worst bullpen in the league which came as a surprise and lost a good number of games late. The starters were just ok as no one really produced above expectations, Dave Stieb did turn it on in the second half of the season as the team played better. Bobby Cox just couldn't muster enough magic from this young roster to get them through. The Phillies with all their veteran leaders saw the likes of Larry Bowa and Pete Rose hit over .300 while the incomparable Mike Schmidt had another MVP like season.Schmidt hit 50 long balls and drove in 140 runs to lead the league all while playing gold glove caliber defense. Age and lack of depth however ended up costing this team in the end. Steve Carlton struck out 366 batters in over 300 innings of work while Tug McGraw saved 35 games but there was little help in the rotation after this. The Phils defense was the worse in the league overall and at times Dallas Green's team was tough to watch. This club was very good on the road winning 44 games, showing their steel nerve in winning where other teams don't, but the Vet wasn't a kind home park as the lack of team speed and age hurt ultimately turned against them. A huge disappointing season from this club. Not enough juice in Boston as the Braves scored the fewest runs in the league and not a single batter drove in over 100 runs. The club wanted to lean on pitching but injuries played a role in their plans. Emotional leader Rabbit Marranville was lost for the season early with a bad elbow while Sherry Magee tore his labrum taxing the team depth. Dick Rudolph lost over 20 games in his over 300 innings of work while Ed Ruelbach kept moving from starter to closer for most of the season. The Braves just had no luck in their season and were the least of all teams that could afford the injuries they incurred. The 1952 Giants found a way to lose 100 games and it was the pitching that was instrumental. The club had an ERA of 5.74 with the least amount of strikeouts and most walks. The injuries to Max Lanier and Jack Harshman strained those numbers even more. Bobby Thompson hit 30 home runs and drove in 105 but there was no miraculous turnaround in a season that hit bottom.
