#1947League question:
Willard Brown led the NAL in hits eight times -- which ties him for the major league record. With whom does he share this record?

Answer to #1947League question:
Only two men in major-league history have led their league in hits in eight different seasons: Ty Cobb and and Willard Brown.
They're both in the Hall of Fame.

Great offense, porous defense, mediocre pitching. Ostermueller just acquired from Tigers to plug that gap.

* After this season, there will be a #1948League.

WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AS A GM:

* I happen to be GM of each team.
