1915 - Year In Review
In the American League, the Philadelphia Athletics were yearly contenders and were almost always runners up to the pennant winners since 1902 until last season. The Athletics hoped that this was an aberation but the bottom continued to drop out as they finished last with a 63-91 record, their worse since their debut in 1901. The Boston Red Sox, however, were once again the cream of the crop for the third season in a row as they dominated throughout the season and clinched the title with a couple of weeks remaining. The team was led by the only 20-game winners in the league, Fred Anderson (20-9, 2.17 ERA) and the AL's Outstanding Pitcher, Dutch Leonard (22-7, 2.19 ERA). The offensive attack was led by "The Grey Eagle", Tris Speaker (.368-0-76), the AL's Outstanding Hitter. Chicago finished in 2nd place, 17 games out, with Edd Roush (.294-0-64), Buck Weaver (.291-1-57) and Jack Fournier (.291-6-64) leading the attack. The Yankees ended the season in 3rd place, 19 games behind, thanks to the hitting Benny Kauff (.332-12-85) again, with Marty McHale leading the mound staff with 17 wins coming out of the pen.
In the National League, the Brooklyn Robins were looking to repeat as title winners. They were in a three-way race all season long with both the St. Louis Cardinals and the surprising Boston Braves. The Robins held a slight lead heading into the final week of the season and a quick burst allowed them to clinch the NL pennant with only three games remaining. The hitting attack was led by Jake Daubert (.318-5-97) and the league's Outstanding Hitter, Ty Cobb (.329-2-80). On the mound, Brooklyn was led by Mordecai Brown (19-11, 2.42 ERA) and the NL's Outstanding Pitcher, Elmer Knetzer (21-12, 2.27 ERA), the NL's only 20-game winner. The Cardinals finished in 2nd place, only a single game behind, as they had five pitchers with 14+wins, including the NL's Rookie of the Year, Wheezer Dell (15-13, 2.95 ERA) while Eddie Collins (.311-4-52) and Rogers Hornsby (.266-5-81) led the hitting attack. Joe Connolly (.299-4-66) and free agent signee Bill Hinchman (.295-6-64) led the Boston Braves to a 3rd place finish, 4 games behind the Robins. Bill James and Ed Reulbach each won 17 games to lead the mound staff. In a rematch from last season's World Series, the Series was much closer but the results were the same as Art Wilson broke a game #7 three-all tie with a home run in the top of the 9th to allow the Robins to repeat as world champions.

1916 - Year In Review
Of the 82 games won by the Giants, it was a matter of streaks in which they got them. After losing the first 6 games of the season, they won enough through the beginning of August to be only 4.5 games behind the then front-running Pirates. New York clawed their way to within 2 games by the end of the month then went on a major winning streak at the end of September and beginning of October and claimed the lead with only 5 games to go from Philadelphia. The two teams were tied near the end of the season before the Giants finally clinched the NL title on the next-to-last day of the season. New York was led by the bats of Gavvy Cravath (.292-3-40-1), Walter Holke (.289-0-30-11), George Burns (.265-3-45-24) and Dave Robertson (.264-6-45-16) and the arms of Dick Rudolph (19-14, 2.33 ERA) and Jeff Tesreau (17-15, 2.31 ERA). The Philadelphia Phillies, who started the season in 7th place, came up during the season and finished in second place, one game behind. The Phillies were led by the league's top pitching staff, led by George Chalmers (19-9, MLB leading 1.19 ERA), Grover Alexander (18-14, 1.99 ERA) and the NL's Outstanding Pitcher, Eppa Rixey (21-14, 1.76 ERA). The Pittsburgh Pirates contended all season and finished in third place, only 2 games behind. Pittsburgh was led by the bats of Hal Chase (.304-6-67-23) and Frank Baker (.283-7-71-9) and on the mound by 21-game winner Sherry Smith (21-13, 2.06 ERA) and Wilbur Cooper (17-13, 2.28 ERA).
In the American League, the Red Sox proved to be much better at playing musical chairs atop the league with the White Sox and Athletics during the first half of the season. Boston then went on a tear to hold a 10.5 game lead over Philadelphia and cruised to a 13-game lead at the end of the season. Their AL leading offensive attack was led by the AL's Outstanding Hitter, Tris Speaker (.354-1-69-33) and Jake Daubert (.297-3-67-32) with Bobby Veach (.260-5-76-13) leading the team with 5 home runs and 76 RBIs. The pitching staff was lead once again by the AL's Outstanding Pitcher, Dutch Leonard (24-7, 1.59 ERA) plus the arms of rookie Babe Ruth (19-9, 2.09 ERA) and the veteran Fred Anderson (17-11, 2.13 ERA). The Cleveland Indians came from behind to finish in second place, 13 games behind Boston. The Indians were led by the bats of Amos Strunk (.295-0-55-14) and 42-year old Honus Wagner (.261-1-51-25) and the arm of Eddie Cicotte (19-12, 2.16 ERA), who led the MLB in strikeouts with 171. The Chicago White Sox also had past the slumping Athletics to finish the season in third place, 15 games behind. The White Sox were led by the second best offense in the league, led by Edd Roush (.322-0-36-30), Johnny Evers (.279-0-27-8), Ernie Johnson (.274-1-37-30) and Jack Fournier (.241-5-70-43), who led the team in home runs and RBIs. The mound staff was led by 22-game winner Reb Russell (22-9, 2.38 ERA) and 20-game winner Phil Douglas (20-11, AL leading 1.49 ERA). The World Series was a case of Red Sox bats against the Giants' pitching. It was the Giants sweeping the first two games, held in Boston, then Boston took the next 2 of 3 at the Polo Grounds to send the series back to Fenway Park. The Giants' Dick Rudolph and the Red Sox's Babe Ruth were in a pitcher's duel before both gave way to their respective bullpens very late in the game with the score tied 2-2. The Giants scratched for a run in the top of the 11th inning to win the game, 3-2, and the world's championship, 4 games to 2. Code:
