Sparked by a record season from
Julius Coltrane and scoring an amazing 922 runs, the Washington Senators blew away the competition, giving legendary ace
Jurgen verherrsch a last hurrah in the postseason....this despite losing team standouts
Charley Bartlett and
Chuck Sciarraba for the season. Around the majors, it was obvious that players had embraced the power game. Three players, Detroit's Bill Lumbergh, New York's "Chum Bucket" O'Reilly and the Browns' Rusty McGee all hit 20 or more homers, matching the three in the NL who passed that mark as well.

If Washington was dominating, then Brooklyn was simply AWESOME. They set the record for wins in a season as the 1-2 punch of
Jim Dane and
Gene "The Machine" Lassiter hit 31 and 33 homers respectively, both breaking the holy 30 homer mark. Lassiter did for the 3rd straight year, while Dane became only the second man to accomplish this feat. On the mound, they had an astonishing four 20-game winners in
Sugar Mobley,
Randall Flagg,
Sly Archambault and preseason acquisition
David Brent, who has been marvelous since his release from the clutches of the notoriously eclectic Detroit management.
