you know, all the folks on the T200 would make quite a room full of mugs, I think. McGraw, Matty, Thorpe, Marquad, etc...

neat idea...

[GKreindler]

Steven, for a Cards fan to say that, you must feel quite strongly for the '35 team. Any particular reason why?

[mr2686]

That's an easy one for me. It would have to be the 1919 Blacksox.

Easy choice would be a classic (albeit cliche) late '40's-mid-50's Brooklyn club, since that is what first drew me into baseball history. But for some reason the first team that popped in my head was the '35 Tigers ... and I have no real explanation for that other than the fact that I own a great '35 Tigers throwback hat signed and inscribed as WS champs by Elden Auker, which I obtained through the mail some years back. I've been intrigued by that club ever since.

Steven -- are you aware of any good literature on the team? I'd like to learn more about it, especially after your ringing endorsement. (Or do you just like them because they lost to the Gashouse Gang Cards in '34?!)

1995 Seattle Mariners. A magical season that saved baseball in Seattle.

[Scott Garner]

For me it would have to be the World Champion 1915 Red Sox. The amount of unbelievable pitching talent alone makes this an easy one for me.
101 regular season wins.
Here is their pitching roster for those that don't already know:

George "Rube" Foster- No-hitter 1916- 2.36 ERA in a shortened career

Smoky Joe Wood- No-hitter 1911- 117 W, 57 L- 2.03 ERA career

Hubert Benjamin "Dutch" Leonard- No-hitters in 1916 and 1918 and the lowest modern ERA- 0.94 in 1914

Carl Mays- 208 wins, 2.92 ERA

Herb Pennock- 241 wins- HOF

Ernie Shore- 2.47 career ERA, 27 consecutive outs in unofficial perfect game in relief of Babe Ruth 1917

Babe Ruth, HOF HR slugger that just happened to be an unbelieveable pitcher too- 94 wins, 46 losses- Career 2.28 ERA, 2 World Series Rings AS A PITCHER!!

great choice, as a cubs fan I hate to say it but god what a story especially when considering shoeless Joe.

Steven, it wouldn't have anything to do with Tom Bridges having an excellent World Series performance, with 2 complete game wins, 2.50 era, and even driving in a run would it ?

[scmavl]

'55 Dodgers
