Re: 1902-03 Offseason
Another raid by some AL teams:
New York Highlanders signed Willie Keeler from Brooklyn, Jack Chesbro from Pittsburgh and Jesse Tannehill from New York Giants. Detroit Tigers signed Sam Crawford from Cincinnati and Bill Donovan from Brooklyn. The latest raids have resulted in the National League's Executive Committee to ask for a meeting with American League President Ban Johnson. Peace At Last! After a failed attempt to get AL President Ban Johnson to merge the American League into the National League, a National Agreement has been signed by all parties. 1) Both leagues will recognize each other as equals and both leagues will also recognize and honor all contracts. There will be no more player raids. 2) All players that have jumped to the American League will stay with their new clubs. 3) The American League can move the Baltimore franchise to New York as long as the American League pledges to not place a team in Pittsburgh. Although the Giants were disgruntled about having an AL team in New York, plus the Superbas disliking the fact that the players that left could stay where they are, the National League reluctantly reached a consensus and this "peace treaty" was signed, ending the war between the leagues. |

1903 - MLB Year In Review
Well folks, the raidings have stopped and peace is at hand under the new National Agreement between the two, now equal, leagues. The players and managers can now concentrate on the field and the owners can start concetrating where it matters most to them, the turnstiles.
In the National League, the Boston Beaneaters held a 3-game lead then built their lead to seven games heading into September and it stayed that way as they headed into the final ten games of the season. It took them awhile but with five games to go, they clinched the NL title, staving off the threat by New York. Boston was led by the best pitching staff in the lead as they had a team ERA of a minuscule 1.88. The mound corps had three 20-game winners, Bill Dineen, Bill Reidy and Chief Bender, who won the pitcher's triple crown by leading the league in wins (26), ERA (1.73) and strikeouts (216). The Giants finished second, nine games back, thanks to the hitting of Roger Bresnahan, who led the league in runs scored with 95. St.Louis bounced back strong enough to finish in fifth after feeling the effects of several raids during the previous three years. In the American League, Cleveland and Detroit were in a dogfight until the Tigers caught fire in July and coasted easily to the AL title, eventually winning by 17 games. Detroit was led at the plate by the hitting of Jimmy Barrett and Sam Crawford, who they had signed in the preseason after raiding the Cincinnati Reds. On the mound the Tigers were lead by Wild Bill Donovan, who they also grabbed in the last player raid of the senior loop, and rookie Red Ames, who finished first in wins and ERA plus finished second in strikeouts on his way to winning the league's Rookie of the Year award. With ten games to go, the owners of the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Beaneaters had a gentleman's agreement to have the teams face each other after the end of the regular season in a nine-game series. This agreement sets up the first World Series and the first inter-league championship series since the 1890 matchup between the National League and the American Association champs. A large crowd assembled in Detroit to watch the first game of the series, won by the Tigers by a score of 1-0 behind the pitching of Red Ames. Ed Siever went the distance scattering 13 hits and leading Detroit to an 8-6 victory in game two. The series shifted to Boston for games 3-5 but it was more of the same. Wild Bill Donovan bested Bill Dineen in game three, winning 4-1 then Mike O'Neill and Red Ames pitched Detroit to victory the next two games, 2-1 and 5-2 respectively, as the Tigers swept the series in five games to win the first world's championship.
