The Hitters
Babe Ruth leads the way in a season that features 3 ex-Yankees, 4 Hall-of-Famers, and a pretty good representation of 20th-century baseball. Ruth has dominated in each season he has played, so it will be interesting to see how he fares against the great Hank Aaron and this fine cast of ballplayers that includes former teammate Earle Combs, Denny Lyons, Larry Doby, Brett Butler, Fred Carroll, and the disreputable Hal Chase.

The Results

The Babe continued his domination against all comers, even with Hammering Hank in the field. He scored almost double the runs of second place Hank Aaron and I guess you are going to win a lot of games if you do that – 26 in a row at one point. Ruth won 130+ games for the third time in as many seasons which left Aaron, Lary Doby, and Denny Lyons to pick up the crumbs in their qualifying finish. The others will have to try their luck in the Round 6 last chance.
