The 1958 Yankees got back into the mix with a great month. Looks like unless they fall apart, both of these teams should make the next round. But the real surprise of the Group has to be the dominance of the two Pirates teams thus far. One of the top teams in history, 1908 Cubs, is in serious danger of not making round #2.
