* I swapped the 1925 Pirates and 1905 White Sox leagues so that teams that were virtually the same(1902 & 1905 White Sox) wouldn't be in the same league. Starting in round 2, I will stop worrying about such things, because it may become harder and harder.

The records are the teams actual historical records. The league is the league that the team will be placed in within the tourney league.

A league preview will be forthcoming. I will present each teams key players, so that the people following can put some names and faces with the teams involved.

WillTheThrill · 01-25-2005, 12:09 AM

Id say the Cubs have a pretty good chance of winning this one

But ill be rooting for the '59 Giants.

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 03:06 AM

My predictions:
Top team: 1923 Giants, they are loaded on offense and have enough pitching to dominate most days.

Biggest Surprise to make the next round: #29 Seed 1968 Reds, Led by Rose, Bench, and Co, this team just may crack the top 16.

Biggest Upset: #6 Seed 1905 White Sox. They have plenty in the way of pitching, but will they score enough runs to compete? I say no.

Batting Champ: Honus Wagner('04 Pirates)

HR Champ: Frank Robinson('62 Reds) just edging out Hank Greenberg

Most Wins: Three Finger Brown('06 Cubs) He could very easily rack up 30-35 wins if the Cubs can score.

There are gonna be a ton of interesting races and matchups in this league. The HR race is loaded....Mantle, Aaron, Mays, Greenberg, Frank Robinson and many more. Which catcher will have the best season? Bench, Piazza, IROD, and Berra are in this league and each had a good season in real life. Babe Ruth will be vying for the most dominant pitcher in this league. I also can't wait to see how some of the stud pitchers match up: Gibson vs Plank, Three Finger vs Carlton.

Tune in tomorrow..........

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 12:18 PM

After the First Month here are some of the Notable happenings:
The 2000 Mets have the best record in the league at 21-7. The 1933 Pirates come in second at 19-9.

Rafael Palmeiro('99 Tex) is the HR leader with 7.

Mordecai('08 CHC) and Al Leiter(2000 NYM) both have 7 wins.

Irish Meusel('23 NYN) currently has a 25 game hitting streak.

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 12:30 PM

Thru May:
Best Records: 1956 Braves(38-19), 1925 Pirates(37-20), 2000 Mets(35-22), 1908 Cubs(34-23)

Biggest Surprise Team thus far: #26 Seed 1976 Twins(32-25)

Biggest Dissapointment: #5 Seed 1905 White Sox(27-30)

HR Leader: Mickey Mantle('58 NYY) & Mike Piazza(2000 NYM) 11

BA Leader: Frank Chance('06 Cubs) .384

Wins Leader: Mordecai Brown('08 Cubs) 12

If anyone would like to see more in these little writeups let me know.

Matt from TN · 01-25-2005, 12:30 PM

I'm rooting for the '56 Braves.

And something tells me there will be a lot of Yankees teams in the final rounds, say the last 32.

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 12:44 PM

Thru June:
Best Records: 1956 Braves(51-30), 1925 Pirates(50-31), 1933 Pirates(50-31), 2000 Mets(47-34)

Biggest Surprise Team thus far: #30 Seed 1910 Phillies(41-40)

Biggest Dissapointment: #9 Seed 1958 Yankees(40-41)

HR Leader: Mickey Mantle('58 NYY) 17

BA Leader: Alex Johnson('68 Reds) .371

Wins Leader: Bert Blyleven('76 Twins) 14

The strongest Yankees team in this pool is putting up a very weak effort, right now they are just out of the mix for going into the next round. And of all the arms in this league, who thought Bert Blyleven would be top of the heap through the first half?

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 12:55 PM

Thru July:
Best Records: 1956 Braves(69-41), 1925 Pirates(68-42), 1933 Pirates(67-43), 2000 Mets(64-46)

Biggest Surprise Team thus far: #26 Seed 1976 Twins(58-52)

Biggest Dissapointment: #2 Seed 1908 Cubs(54-56)

HR Leader: Mickey Mantle('58 NYY) 22

BA Leader: Ross Youngs('23 Giants) .380

Wins Leader: Al Leiter (2000 Mets) 18

The 1958 Yankees got back into the mix with a great month. Looks like unless they fall apart, both of these teams should make the next round. But the real surprise of the Group has to be the dominance of the two Pirates teams thus far. One of the top teams in history, 1908 Cubs, is in serious danger of not making round #2.

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 01:07 PM

Thru August:
Best Records: 1925 Pirates(84-54), 1933 Pirates(82-56), 1956 Braves(81-57), 2000 Mets(80-58)

Biggest Surprise Team thus far: #26 Seed 1976 Twins(75-63)

Biggest Dissapointment: #2 Seed 1908 Cubs(69-69)

HR Leader: Mickey Mantle('58 NYY) 26

BA Leader: Ross Youngs('23 Giants) .371

Wins Leader: Al Leiter(2000 Mets) 24

There are 3 Reds' teams in this group and all 3 are out of the next round if things were to end today. For two of these clubs('20 and '68) this was expected, but the '62 Reds were expected to challenge for a division title, but so far have only mananged a record of 68-70.

woody5254 · 01-25-2005, 01:43 PM

Starting in round 2, I will stop worrying about such things, because it may become harder and harder. The records are the teams actual historical records. The league is the league that the team will be placed in within the tourney league. A league preview will be forthcoming. I will present each teams key players, so that the people following can put some names and faces with the teams involved. __________________ Check out: You Pick Tourney Version 2.0 Standings Thread You Pick The Teams Tourney: Main Thread The Colossal 20th Century Tourney:Main Thread Chicago White Sox(Original Owner:2001-) Baseball Maelstrom -2001,2011,2013 World Series Champions -2002,2010 Maelstrom Tourney Champs Arizona Diamondbacks(2003-) NAHHBL Indianapolis Racers(Expansion Team:1993-)ABC Last edited by woody5254; 01-25-2005 at 11:49 AM.

The 1933 Pirates come in second at 19-9. Rafael Palmeiro('99 Tex) is the HR leader with 7. Mordecai('08 CHC) and Al Leiter(2000 NYM) both have 7 wins. Irish Meusel('23 NYN) currently has a 25 game hitting streak. __________________ Check out: You Pick Tourney Version 2.0 Standings Thread You Pick The Teams Tourney: Main Thread The Colossal 20th Century Tourney:Main Thread Chicago White Sox(Original Owner:2001-) Baseball Maelstrom -2001,2011,2013 World Series Champions -2002,2010 Maelstrom Tourney Champs Arizona Diamondbacks(2003-) NAHHBL Indianapolis Racers(Expansion Team:1993-)ABC

Looks like unless they fall apart, both of these teams should make the next round. But the real surprise of the Group has to be the dominance of the two Pirates teams thus far. One of the top teams in history, 1908 Cubs, is in serious danger of not making round #2. __________________ Check out: You Pick Tourney Version 2.0 Standings Thread You Pick The Teams Tourney: Main Thread The Colossal 20th Century Tourney:Main Thread Chicago White Sox(Original Owner:2001-) Baseball Maelstrom -2001,2011,2013 World Series Champions -2002,2010 Maelstrom Tourney Champs Arizona Diamondbacks(2003-) NAHHBL Indianapolis Racers(Expansion Team:1993-)ABC
