1950 Season
April- We went 19-7, 3 games up on the Cubs. Everyone is raking like the good old days and the pitching has been solid.
May- 37-16, 6.5 games up on the Braves. Dick Fowler, who hadn't been pitching that well anyway, missed a couple of weeks. Ennis and Rizzuto are struggling some but our hitting and starting pitching continues to be very solid.
June- 57-23, 11.5 games up on the Cubs. Willie Jones broke his elbow and will miss about 3 months. Ron Northey replaced a struggling Del Ennis as our everyday Left Fielder.
July- 71-35, 10 Games up on the Giants.
August- 89-46, 13 Games ahead of the Giants. Monte Irvin, Josh Gibson & Roy Campanella each missed a couple of weeks with minor ailments. Everyone should be back shortly though, including Willie Jones.
September- We finish the season 103-51 and win the pennant by 15 games over the Giants. We will square off with the Red Sox, who went 94-60 and won the AL by 2 games over the Yankees, in the World Series.
We only lost $45,000 on the year because our operating expenses were cut dramatically, hopefully nobodies development declined that badly.
Lorenzo Davis was 10th in the league with 171 hits. Easters 34 dingers placed him 3rd and Gibson with 27 and Davis with 26 also placed in the top 10. Easters 97 RBI was good enough for 9th. Davis scored 106 times and Irvin 98 to put them both in the top 10. Curt Simmons and Cal Hogue both placed in the top 10 in ERA and Hogues 19 wins were good enough to tie him for 6th in the game.
