Yes. These are all real players who have played in the majors from 1901 thru whatever. I am using the Sean Lahman's database.


BTW folks, the "George" being talked about is George Herman Ruth. He should be in the first-year draft in either 1912 or 1913.

After winning three straight National League pennants, the Chicago Cubs entered the season confident of an unprecedented fourth consecutive title. Who could blame them with the bats of Eddie Collins and Honus Wagner plus the rotation of Three Finger Brown, Tom Hughes, Bill Wicker and Vic Willis. By the time the season got anywhere near September, the race was all but over as they ended up winning by 17 games over the second place Cincinnati Reds. The only surprise was Vic Campbell. All he did was bat .310 with a league-leading 6 home runs and 78 runs batted in, gaining him the NL Outstanding Batter award.
As the pennant streak continued in the National League, it did not happen in the American League. New York, winners of four straight titles themselves, could not make it five in a row. The Highlanders started out slow and could never catch up, dropping all the way to sixth place. The Boston Red Sox, riding the bat of Tris Speaker, held a four game lead over Chicago and six games over both St.Louis and Washington. All Tris Speaker did was lead the league in average (.320), home runs (8) and runs batted in (94) as he became the second player in history to win the triple crown. Not only that, but he also led the league in runs scored with 99 and was second in stolen bases with 49. The White Sox tried to keep pace during September but had to settle for second place, four games behind the pennant winning Red Sox.
In the World Series, the Chicago Cubs won it for the second time in three years by totally dominating Boston and swept the series, 4 games to 0. The cubbies outscored the bosox 22-11, including just allowing 1 run, total, in the last two games behind the stellar pitching of Brown and Hughes.
Institutions came and went for the national pastime in 1909. Harry C. Pullman's six-year reign as NL President came to an end after suffering a nervous breakdown. On the lighter side, Forbes Field in Pittsburgh and Shibe Park in Philadelphia opened their doors for the first time during the season and crowds came pouring in to take a look at the brand new ballparks. Maybe the change in ballparks will spark some change in the struggling franchises on the field as the Pirates and the Athletics, respectively, both finished far behind in their respective leagues.

Thanks for the readership and the reply. They are both greatly appreciated.

Notice how we are not seeing much of either Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner, two players who dominated at the plate during this time.

Through the first six seasons, Ty Cobb is batting .290.

Ever since he was signed by the Cubs as a free agent, Honus Wagner has been basically struggling with inconsistancy. He hasn't batted over .315 in any year since the move except for 1908, when he was hitting .358 but only played 38 games because of an injury. Every other year he is batting below .300.
