Seeing Waddell made me laugh,he's on my team right now,but he's not the pitcher who's dominating the league,its his teammate Chief Bender.It's July 23,1906 and Bender is 20-1 with a 1.82 ERA,he's on pace to be the first Philadelphia Athletics pitcher with 30 wins since Gus Weyhing in 1889,17 years ago
