Cristobal Torriente set a new single-season home run record, Dazzy Vance won 30 games, and Heilmann and Hornsby look to be MVP favorites. I posted a season recap here: cloverlandleagues.blogspot.com/2024/09/alt-...cloverlandleagues.blogspot.com/2024/09/alt-...
While there are 72 games to go in the season, right now it looks like we're heading toward a Yankees-Giants World Series. It ain't over until it's over, though, plus Lou Gehrig is on pace to beat Ruth's single-season HR record of 48 (with Hornsby just behind) and two Yankees pitchers could win 30!
The Yankees' farm system is considered the best by the algorithm. Toronto's Lefty Grove is probably the biggest star, but there are several other real-life MLB stars on both teams. Toronto has won two pennants recently, while New Orleans is looking to finish above .500 for the first time.
The six minor leagues in the game run the gamut from the PCL where Sacramento (the Senators' AAA team) is running away from the field to the unaffiliated A-level leagues, both of which have ties for first place. The Yankees farm teams in Toronto and New Orleans are both in the hunt in their leagues.
Some pennant races are better than others at this point. The Kansas City Packers have ticked off wins at a ferocious clip, and the defending champion New York Yankees have been the only ones close to keeping pace. The New York Giants lead a much tighter scrum in the NL.
