1919 National League preview
Let's take a brief look at how the eight contending clubs shape up for the 1919 season in the National League, in order of their 1918 finish . . .
World Series Time Machine: 2003
During the 2003 baseball season, Roger Clemens won his 300th game and notched his 4000th strikeout (in the same contest!), three players (Palmeiro, Bonds and Sosa) joined the 500-homer club, and Bill Mueller became the first player to hit grand slams from both sides of the plate in the same game. In the Fall Classic, the American League Champion New York Yankees (101-61) face off (again) against the National League Champion Florida Marlins (91-71) . . .
World Series Time Machine: 1970
During the 1970 baseball season, the Seattle Pilots franchise hurriedly decamped to Milwaukee, Tom Seaver whiffed 19 Padres including ten in a row, and three venerable National league ballparks (Forbes Field, Crosley Field, Shibe Park) closed their gates for the last time. In the Fall Classic, the American League Champion Baltimore Orioles (108-54) face off (again) against the National League Champion Cincinnati Reds (102-60) . . .
