The Hitters
The little known Hal Trosky picked up the number one seed in this season by virtue of his 104 victories in Round 3. Will he have staying power against Hall-of-Famers Chipper Jones, Todd Helton, and Tim Raines? What about sluggers Gary Sheffield and Dave Kingman? And let’s not forget early stars Bobby Veach and John Reilly. Only a top four finish guarantees a spot in Round 7.
