My standings were very similar, with the Yankees finishing 113-42, 16 1/2 games over Boston, and the Giants finishing 95-59, 3 1/2 over Brooklyn. I'm a huge Phillies fan, so I was disappointed as well. As I'm sure I will be for a long time yet to come. The Yankees swept the Giants in the World Series. Ralph Kiner hit an MLB leading 51 homers and was my NL MVP, and Joe DiMaggio batted .354 with 32 homers and 131 RBI to win the award in the AL. Robin Roberts was the Phillies' bright spot, he went 26-11 with a 2.65 ERA and 142 strikeouts in 326 innings to win the NL Cy Young. He threw eight shutouts. The Yankees' Eddie Lopat won the AL Cy, he was an incredible 32-5 with a 2.36 ERA. The Braves' Sam Jethroe and the Browns' Don Lenhardt were my rookies of the year. It's such a fun thing to replay these old seasons, I look forward to how yours turns outPatnoreply@blogger.com
