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.
