1926 World Champions

Manager: Tom Chase

1926 saw the end to a phenomenal owner in Tom Chase. After winning four straight championships, 1924 and 1925 brought us two new champions. But in his farewell season he wouldn't be outdone as he took his 5th championship. Hopefully we will see him again in the near future competing with us (then again, maybe not! LOL. All of us might have a shot at winning it all now!)
