The Hitters
All-Time Great Nap Lajoie is the clear favorite and number one seed in this season. He will pit his skills against the style of players he would most recognize in John Stone, George Davis, Fred Clarke, Hugh Duffy, and Hardy Richardson. Hall of Famer Jim Rice and Mookie Wilson are tossed in for good measure. Top four get a free ticket to Round 7.
