The Results

Tommy Henrich came out of the gate strong, but there was really never any doubt as Jimmy Foxx pulled ahead in May and never looked back. A hot August allowed Orlando Cepeda to pass Paul Goldschmidt for third place. Manny Ramirez had a hard time getting going and almost made it to .500 by the season’s end. Alas, he, along with Pierre, Ryan, and Sheckard will be headed to Round 6 while the others advance directly to Round 7.
