The Hitters
Tournament #1 seed Ty Cobb is the only Hall-of-Famer and the true class of this league. As he has dominated in each of his previous appearances, I anticipate he will do the same here. Ready to give him a battle are Dolph Camilli, La Grande Orange Rusty Staub, power hitters Norm Cash, Bill Nicholson, Scott Rolen, and Luis Gonzalez, along with star of the 1890s, Cupid Childs. As always, top 4 to advance automatically.
