The Hitters
Stan “The Man” Musial is the only Hall-of-Famer in this season, the top seed, and the clear favorite to win it all. He’s already had two 100+ win seasons but Gavvy Cravath is ready to give battle. Also in the hunt are a fairly modern mix including Augie Galan, Will Clark, Freddie Freeman, Keith Hernandez, Ron Cey, and Carlos Delgado. Who will move forward to Round 7? 154 games will tell the tale.
