The Hitters
Hall of Famer Roger Bresnahan has the top seed in this elimination season, and it will take more than a pair of shin guards to make it through. Also in the mix are Rip Radcliff, Dave “The Cobra” Parker, Paul O’Neill, J.D. Martinez, Robin Yount, Jay Buhner, and Magglio Ordonez. All it takes to move on to Round 7 is a .500 record. Who will make it and who will go home? 154 games will decide.

The Results
There was not a great deal of offense this season – Dave Parker5 led the league with 78 RBIs – and it was a close race with Paul O’Neill grabbing the pennant, helped in no small measure by his 15-3 record in extra-inning games. Magglio Ordonez, Robin Yount, Dave Parker, and Roger Bresnahan all managed to finish above .500, and so will be moving on to Round 7. J.D. Martinez was on track to make it but faltered down the stretch. He, Rip Radcliff, and Jay Buhner are on their way home.
