Stan The Man dominated this round, finishing 19 games ahead of Eddie Matthews (underrated and one of my personal favorites). He never won more than 10 in a row, but he had winning records against every other team.
In highlights, the Mariano Rivera of Eddie Matthews had 55 saves, while Stan Musial hit .255 as a team versus the league average of .204. One of the Tom Dalys struck out 7 times in 8 at-bats in a 23-inning game. There was a perfect game by Cy Young against Gary Redus while the Roger Clemens of Bobby Wallace had two No-Hitters on the season.
Musial and Matthews are joined by Tom Daly and Hal McRae in Round 3. The others get a second chance in Round 2.
