In my sim (through 1954), Ruth played for Boston for several years and only made the Series once (1920) before being traded to the Cubs and winning 3 straight. After that he was traded back to Boston and won a title there as well.

Between 1918 and 1930, the Cardinals won 11 of 13 pennants and 7 titles, including 5 in a row and 7 of 8 between 1920 and 1927.

From 1941 to 1946, the Red Sox and Yankees alternated years winning the World Series.

The Cardinals have won 24 NL titles, the Yankees have 19 in the AL, and no other team has more than 9 with the Reds, White Sox, and Brewers (were the Boston Braves) never winning.

Chick Hafney turned 51 just before the 1954 season, sitting at 3999 hits. He got 17 hits this past year and I'd have to imagine he'll retire now as he was pretty ineffective overall. In total there are 6 guys with more than 4000 hits - with Gehrig leading the way at 4463.

There are 5 guys with > 500 homeruns (though DiMaggio will make it 6 this coming season), with Ruth leading the way at 879 - more than 200 ahead of second place.

There are 6 guys with > 300 wins, with Joe Wood leading the way at 426. The next closest is Dizzy Dean at 364.

I've noticed a lot of guys having really long careers (20+ seasons). I think this is likely the result of me accidently leaving injuries set at 'very low' for my overnight sim that took me through 1950. I'll probably start over here in a few days, but for now, looking through the history is pretty fun. I should have done this historical stuff in past versions. I was really missing out.
