Im going to give you my predictions on who will win and when it's done Im sure they will be completely off.  Well here goes.

In the first divsion, we have a ton of great pitching duels here.  The 1909 Pirates are the #1 seed in this divison and they very well could take this division.  If I had to choose a sleeper, I like the 13th seeded 1919 Chicago Whitesox.  The Blacksox.  They start off against the 1904 Giants and I think they can beat them.  I don't see them going all the way but I can see them winning maybe the first 2 rounds.  But in the end, I think the 1906 or 1909 Cubs are going to end up winning this division.  I feel they can survive these long Best of 15 matchups better than anyone else here.

My Prediction #2 1906  Chicago Cubs over #5 1909 Chicago Cubs in the division finals.

In the second division, you have 3 of the top four seeded teams as NYYankees.  The 1927 Yankees have long been regarded among historians as the best team ever and its hard to argue that.  Thats why they come in as the #1 seed in their division and a 3 to 1 favorite to win it all.  While I think they are one of the greatest, I just don't think they can beat out the 1939 Yankees.  There's some very tough matchups here.  As a sleeper, I like the #10 seed Washington Senators beating the #7 seed 1946 Redsox and then moving on at least one more round.  The 31 A's will pose some great challenges too, but in the end, I see

My Prediction: #4 NYYankees 1939 over the #1 NYYankees 1927

In the third division, we have a very diverse group of teams.  To start off with an upset, I like the Miracle Mets of 1969 beating the #1 seed 1975 Cincinati Reds in a stunner.  I also think the #10 seeded 72 A's will make it real far in this tournament.  However, to make a choice,...

My Prediction: #5 Brooklyn Dodgers 1953 over the 1968 Detroit tigers. 

On to the final division..  This division will have some big fireworks and high scoring games.  First off, I think I will pick a sweep by the #1 seed 98 Yankees over the 82 Brewers.  This one wont even be close.  Those 98 Yankees will definitely move on far in this tournament.  I like the matchup of the 88 A's and the Bash Brothers taking on the 93 Giants.  But in the end I think pitching is going to overcome

My Prediction: #8 Atlanta Braves 1993 over the #5 St Louis Cards

So my final four is :

1906 Cubs
1939 Yankees
1953 Dodgers
1993 Braves

I see the Cubs and Ed Walsh and that pitching staff outlasting the 1939 Yankees in a squeaker.  And I like the tough 1953 Brooklyn dodgers to beat up on those Atlanta Braves.


So in the finals, I like the 1906 Cubs to beat the Dodgers and be reigned as the World Champion!

So we'll see what happens.  The first of the serieses will start soon!
