Big leaguers return home from the war and major league rosters swell. Feller and Newhouser both win 26. The Cards return to the World Series, beating the Red Sox in seven games.

It’s the Indians over the Braves in six games. Big John Mize and Ralph Kiner both launch 40; Stan the Man hits .376.

Kiner puts up 54, but to no avail, as his Pirates finish 6th in the N.L. The Yanks, behind the resurgent DiMaggio, take the A.L. pennant over Boston, then trample the Brooks 4-1 in the series.

The Indians stellar rotation of Wynn, Garcia, Lemon, Houtteman, and Feller produces a 111-win season. The Giants, though, featuring Willie Mays and “the catch”, have none of it, sweeping the tribe in the series.

Next Year is finally here, as long-waiting Dodger fans finally get a championship. The Brooks win it all, Johnny Podres taking game seven from the Yanks, 2-0.

Led by the M&M boys, Mantle and Maris, the Bronx bombers of ’61 are always in the mix when discussing the greatest teams of all time.

Another championship for L.A., as they take down the upstart Minnesota Twins in seven games. The formerly unheralded Larry Sherry drives off in the Corvette.

It’s the beginning of a new powerhouse, this time in Baltimore, as the pitching heavy Orioles turn the tables on the Dodgers, beating them in four straight.
