1921 World Champions

 

Manager: Tom Chase

Right off the bat Old-School Mogul League has back-to-back champions in the Washington Senators. The World Series went six games with that final game not even being close. I mean we're talking total annihilation! Then again that's how the Senators' season went winning 111 games a whopping 37 game lead over the second place White Sox. Meanwhile the Athletics took the East with a .500 record. Babe Ruth didn't win the Triple Crown but he continued being Babe Ruth. And if you look at the American League Leaders three pitchers tied for most wins...all from the same team!
