1909 - MLB Year In Review

After falling to third place in 1908, the Boston Doves returned to the top of the National League. The team was led at the plate by Harry Wolter, who finished first in the NL in RBI and stolen bases, and by Burt Shotton. Burt Shotton was the first player in the modern era to bat .400. For this feat, he was awarded the league's Outstanding Batter Award. The Doves' mound corps was once again headed by their ace, Chief Bender. Bender won 27 games, leading the NL, and also led the league in ERA with 1.61 while finishing second in strikeouts. Bender was chosen the league's outstanding pitcher. Boston headed into September 10 games ahead of the second place Cardinals, then clinched the title with 10 games to go.
St.Louis was lead by pitcher Red Donahue, who finished with 23 wins. The Chicago Cubs finished a distant third, 12 games behind the front running Doves, and were led by Ed Konetchy and Duffy Lewis, who paced the NL in home runs with 9. Mordecai Brown finally had a good season as he finished with 25 wins, enough to finish second in the league.

The Philadelphia Athletics continued their domination over the rest of the American League by winning their third straight title. However, this time the margin was only 3 games. Philadelphia led the second place Boston Red Sox by 8 games and the third place St.Louis Browns by 9 games heading into September. With ten games remaining, St.Louis was gone but the Red Sox had gotten hot and only trailed by 3 games. Boston got to within 2 games but were eliminated on the next-to-last day of the season. The Mackmen were once again led at the plate by Ty Cobb and Frank Baker. Ty Cobb was awarded the AL's Outstanding Batter Award as he led the league in average (.368), finished third in RBI (74) and finished second in runs scored (94).
Boston finished second, 3 games behind, and was led at the plate by Tris Speaker, and on the mound by their outstanding rookie, Ray Collins. Collins finished with a league-leading 26 wins and was awarded both the AL's Rookie of the Year Award and the AL's Outstanding Pitcher Award.

The World Series again did not provide much excitement as Eddie Plank won two games in leading the Athletics to a 4 games to 1 world championship over the Doves.

1910 - MLB Year In Review

U.S. President William H. Taft opened the 1910 baseball season by throwing out the first ball. His actions served to mark baseball as the "official" national pastime and advanced the state of the political art into the 20th century. Those in attendance, including Vice President James Sherman, hailed the event. The Washington pitcher responded to the turnout of the robust chief executive by tossing a complete game victory over the Philadelphia Athletics. Taft's presence, though, was not an omen of prosperity for the Senators, who finished sixth with a 65-89 record.
The Philadelphia Athletics bounced back from that defeat and played winning ball all season long. It wasn't meant to be for the mackmen. Heading into September, Philadelphia trailed the Boston Red Sox by 3 games and it stayed that was for all of the month. In early October, the Athletics got to within 2 games with 3 to play but were eliminated the next day as the red hose held on to gain the American League pennant. The Red Sox were led by the bats of Larry Doyle and Tris Speaker and on the mound by pitchers Ray Collins and Smokey Joe Wood. Larry Doyle led the league in average (.311) and runs (110) and also finished third in RBI with 95 and was rewarded by the league with the Outstanding Hitter award. The second-place Athletics once again was led by their ace pitchers Eddie Plank and Rube Waddell. Waddell was awarded the league's Outstanding Pitcher award for leading the league in both ERA (1.76) and in wins (26).
The American League did not hold a monopoly on close races as the National League did them one better. Heading into September, the Philadelphia Phillies led the second-place Boston Doves by 1.5 games, with Cincinnati 5.5 games back and St.Louis 7. As the teams headed into the home stretch, the Phillies lead was now 1 game over Boston and 2 over St.Louis. The Cardinals bowed out, but not until the next-to-last day, and the Doves tied the Phillies. Philadelphia and Boston remained tied and the Doves defeated the Phillies in a one-game playoff to capture the NL's title. Boston was led by Rookie of the Year Armando Marsans, who finished 3rd in the league in average, batting .344, and by the pitching of Jack Powell. Powell led the NL in ERA and wins and was awarded the league's Outstanding Pitcher award. The St.Louis Cardinals, who finished in 3rd place 1.5 games behind the winning Doves, were led by the bats of Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb, who they signed as a free agent. The Georgia Peach rewarded the Cardinals management by leading the league in batting (.378) and was awarded the league's Outstanding Hitter award, making him the first player in history to win the award in each league.
The Boston Red Sox, who won a record setting 101 games during the regular season, quickly disposed of their intra-city rivals, 4 games to none, in the World Series to win their first world's championship.
