Week 24 Summary



John McGraw
Week 24 is in the books and the AL has completed play, with the Chicago White Stockings as the AL Champs. The NL is not far behind, but they won’t finish up until next Sunday as they have 22 games remaining to complete. Pittsburgh's magic number is down to four and they have five games left to play - three with Boston to start the week, and two with Chicago to end the week. Brooklyn only has two games remaining, both with New York, so they are going to need some outside help to close that three-game gap with the Pirates.

Once the NL is finished I will provide a more in-depth team-by-team summary and an extended final stats leaders summary as well, so this will be another abbreviated post. The end is very close so it is just about time wrap this project up.

Week 5 Summary

Week 5 is in the books and league play is in full swing in both leagues. The Midwestern NL teams have just started their first swing through the east and the AL east coast teams will be making their first trip west this coming week. All the teams are still jockeying for players and injuries are having an impact as well. You can start to be able to identify the haves and the have-not's in both leagues, the difference being the teams that have multiple good pitchers. 1901 Cincinnati Reds In the AL, Boston sits atop the pack after just completing four wins in a row versus Baltimore, last week's leader. Boston has shown good pitching and good hitting up and down the lineup, and mostly, they have been able to avoid disasters along the way. Chicago and Detroit both beat up on Milwaukee and Cleveland pretty good their first go-round, although the games were much closer the second time. Baltimore is currently reeling but should level off, while the remainder all suffer from i...

1901 World Series and Finale

World Series Game One, Tuesday, October 8, 1901 The heat of the long hot Chicago summer had broken just in time for the commencement of the inaugural World Series and it was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon at South Side Park in Chicago. The home team, the Chicago White Stockings, had not played an official game in ten days, but were happy for the time off and were happy to have catcher Billy Sullivan back and able to play after his finger injury in the last week of the season plus pitcher Roy Patterson had rejoined the club after he had been allowed to return home before the end of the season. The visitors, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had just completed their regular season two days previous, but were happy for the day off on Monday and were ready to go as well. South Side Park, Chicago IL There was a concern as to whether this event would ever happen as both the leagues were still at war with each other, but both leagues, both teams, and the players all saw an opportunit...

Week 11 Summary

The pennant races in both leagues really tightened up last week and this week they became even tighter. In the NL, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn took turns knocking each other out of first place over the past week and at the end of the week, they both found that someone else was in first place. Philadelphia has been on a tear and has won its last nine consecutive games and currently sits atop the NL, but only by the slimmest of leads. Chicago is in fourth place in the NL, but has lost their last four and they are four games under .500 - someone out of those bottom five teams are going to go on a hot streak here eventually, but I don't think any of those teams are going to challenge the three at the top. 1901 Milwaukee Brewers In the AL, it is one of those anomalies where Boston has the better winning percentage but is one-half game behind Chicago in the standings. These two have been trading the top spot for the past two weeks, but if either of them should falter a red-hot Balt...
