Well it appears the 1927 Yankees are gonna be tough to knock out. Their 1-2 Punch occupies the top 2 in nearly every offensive category.

Vris · 01-27-2005, 01:27 PM

You knew those '27 Yankees would be tough. But it looks like the Pirate's have fallen down a little. Probably still should advance though.

Yes, the pitching staff really let them down, and the young Willie Mays was not quite ready to lead them to round #2.

Good to see the '94 Braves sneak in there. They definitely don't have the gumption of the '95 or later teams, but it's good to get a broad range of those teams.

woody5254 · 01-27-2005, 03:17 PM

Yeah, a 32 Seed has made it into Round #2, so just about every team has a chance to advance...at least in these early rounds. Other then say one or two teams per group, the slots are usually available going into the last month the season.
