ALBANY Avalanche : Pat Barry (Elizabeth) Age: 63 Occupation: Retired; Cat Servant

The Season Story

With only Ted Williams, Elmer Valo and as hitting threats the once mighty Avalanche sunk to 62- 92, their worst record since 1963. Rebuilding is called for, but the War Years is sure t mess up rebuilding, but could lead to a surprise playoff appearance. Who can tell? Williams despite leading the league in runs created struggled to get to the 100 RBI mark. Heath had a fine year and Valo in part time duty showed he was still an on base machine. Dick Sisler and Heinz Becker were decent in sharing first base, but the rest of the hitters. The pitching was mediocre, but it did have two stellar events when unlimited pitchers Lou Knerr and Clem Dreisewerd fired no hitters. What to make of the war years? You got me. It looks like a free for all.

The Season Story

The Travs escaped the worst record in the league for the first time in a while with old players such as Joe Medwick and Buddy Lewis seemingly getting younger and improving. The pitching staff also showed marked improvement with hope coming from Mort Cooper, and Jim Bagby. The approaching war clouds may throw some cold water on our rebuilding process but...we're all in this together to make the world safe for Democracy!

The Season Story

There were a few bright spots in what was an otherwise dismal season at the Cement Pond. Offensively, the team was at least adequate. Enos Slaughter paced the offense with meaningful contributions from Hank Edwards, Billy Herman, and Sid Gordon. Outside of Bob Feller (24 wins, 39% of the team's wins) the pitching was pitiful. It is hard to tell what the team will be during the war years.... but maybe there is hope on the other side.

BLOOMINGTON Burning Bunyans Manager: Bob Weisman (Janet) Age: 60 Occupation: Retired Meteorology Professor

The Season Story

Unlike Paul Bunyan, Bloomington didn’t burn up the bats, but produced plenty of foot fungus with revitalized pitching. Kirby Higbe somehow survived walking 116 batters to produce the second lowest ERA in the league. And, Bobo Newsom returned from an off year to win 15 games and place in the Top 6 in ERA. and Nick Strincevich were also effective, but all suffered from continued anemic run production. Barney McCosky hit for a high average, but was only a part-time player. Probably Bert Haas was the most consistent hitter with some occasional power from (5th in HR/AB). Joe Grace led the team, mostly because of opportunity. And, of course, any lead the Bunyans had often resulted in a burn from a shaky . Emil Kush somehow saved 21 of 27 games, but contributed to 22 blown saves. As true for most teams, the last war year will be a mystery, but several pitchers have some potential in further past years.

BRONX Highlanders Manager: Hank Pedicone (Eileen) Age: 70 Occupation: Retired Attorney

The Season Story (by Hank Pedicone)

The Highlanders only managed 71 wins, but the blame could not be placed on the over-performing pitching staff, who posted a team ERA of 3.19. , of all people, led the staff with a 2.26 ERA while making 22 starts and 19 relief appearances, racking up 189 IP....Didn't see that coming. On the other hand, the offense stunk....Joe DiMaggio did manage to hit 30 dingers, but that was HALF of the team total of 60. The team batting average was a measly .246 and the gang managed to create only 544 runs; neither was the league's worst, but neither was far from it. The next few seasons should be quite the adventure, as so many guys do their military service. But we certainly are not the only hurtin' squad in this journey into the past. Wait 'till last year.

CHESTERTOWN Blue Herons Manager: Eric Rogers Age: 62 Occupation: Meteorologist

The Season Story

Mediocre is the best word to describe the 1945 Blue Herons. The season played out exactly as the pre-season simulations: decent in Period 1, faltered in Period 2, fell out of contention (and below .500) in Period 3. We did lead the league in triples (90), and were the only team that had more triples than home runs (90 vs. 68). Only Lukon (16) and Marshall (13) had more than 10 home runs. Except for unlimited starter Ralph Hammer (9-19, 4.43 ERA) the pitching was good enough to keep CH near .500, with Ken Trinkle (30 SV) winning his second consecutive Fireman of the Year award. I don't see this team contending for a while, but who knows what the war years will bring?

DULUTH Thundercats Manager: Kevin Tyle (Bryan) Age: 56 Occupation: Computer Administrator/Meteorologist

The Season Story

Duluth expected that this year would mark the culmination of a series of strong Thundercats squads, and had its paws and whiskers set on a return to the World Series and its second TML crown in 5 years. The road to the post season was a bit harder than expected, especially given the world-class starting rotation, led by Hal Newhouser, Johnny Sain, and Howie Pollet. Oakdale and Moosen proved to be equally-strong squads, but Duluth sneaked into a conference title in the last period. Despite a winning record versus the Squirrel in the regular season, Duluth stumbled in the conference playoffs with spotty hitting, and pitching that was not as strong as it needed to be. All bets are off as we enter the war years, with rebuilding soon to follow.

MOOSEN Squirrel Manager: Bill Graham (Cathy Ann) Age: 70 Occupation: Retired

The Season Story

The 1946 Moosen Squirrel team exceeded expectations. Going into the season there was reason to believe the Squirrel would come up short once again to Duluth and Oakdale. But the team played phenomenally at home winning over 80% of their games at Ebbets Field. The top of the lineup featured Eddy Stanky and Pee Wee Reese who combined to score 220 of the Squirrel's 831 regular season runs. Virgil Trucks and Harry "The Cat" Breechen each won 16 games to lead the Squirrel pitching staff. Moosen got by a very tough Duluth squad to face North Adams in the World Series. The two teams were more evenly matched than many observers realized. It was disappointing but no surprise the Bevers emerged victorious. It was a great season, a great series, and above all it was a lot of fun. Bring on 1945!

NORTH ADAMS Bevers Manager: Mike Ameen Age: 56 Occupation: Restaurateur & H.S. Softball

TML Champion The Season Story

The North Adams Bevers are the 1946 TML Retro Champions! I never thought I would write those words!! The North Adams Bevers completed the regular season in 1st place by 1 game (93-81) to win their division and then went on to beat the Sonoma Crusher's 4 games to 3 to win the Atmospheric Championship. The Bevers then, lead by Dixie Walker (.423 11 hits 6 rbi's) and Johnny Hopp (.533) won the TML Retro Championship in 6 games against the Moosen Squirrel's with Tommy Henrich knocking in the championship winning run in extra making a winner of Hank Borowy. The Bevers regular season was highlighted by Hank Greenberg's league leading 39 home runs and 116 rbi's. Also contributing was Johnny Hopp (.386) Dixie Walker (.354) Charlie Keller (24 hr's 97 runs and a league leading 15 triples) and Red Schoendienst (109 runs). The pitching was led by Hank Borowy (15-4 3.17) Hi Bithorn (17-10 3.69) and Boo Ferriss (15 wins 3.36). It was a long but rewarding process over the last 8 or 9 seasons to get the Bevers back into contention. To finish with a Championship was a little unexpected but very welcome in 1946. The Bevers moving forward into 1945 look to make another run at the playoffs. Here is to hoping that comes true and North Adams can attempt to defend its title and repeat as Champions in 1945!! Go Bevers!!!!

OAKDALE Ravagers Manager: Mike Landin (Teri) Age: 67 Occupation: Retired/Senior Softball Player on Hold

The Season Story

After winning consecutive Championships in 1948 & 1947 and then winning 104 games in 1946, one would think it be enough to make the playoffs to defend their Title again. Nope. The Ravagers found themselves mired in 3 rd place all season behind two stronger opponents in Moosen and perennial rival Duluth! Kudos to both! Nothing to be ashamed of, the Ravagers were led on offense by the strong performances of Stan Musial, Phil Cavarretta and Lou Boudreau. Not to be overlooked was the amazing bench of (obtained in pre-season while in bed late at night via text!) and Les Moss. Leon Culberson and made for a potent platoon. Pitching wise, 20-game winner Eddie Lopat emerged as the “Ace”, and was supported by Ewell Blackwell, Ed Wright and . After 20 seasons, the Ravagers give a “fond farewell” to long time “Ace” who put up a part-time 12-4, 2.20 final season. Spahn departs with 337 career victories (2 nd all time to another franchise pitcher ) and remains the all time TML career leader, by far, in CG (454). Spahn also finishes #1 in QS (373), #3 in Shutouts (56) and #5 in IP (5,154). He will be missed, but the Ravagers may have one more Championship run in them in 1945 before “darkness” in world affairs takes hold and much of our recent talent is sent to war.

SIOUX FALLS Fighting Sioux Manager: Jeff Chapman (Sally) Age: 54 Occupation: NWS Meteorologist

The Season Story

Consensus is that this Sioux season should be wrapped up and buried. Far from our memories. The offense was putrid, barely surpassing the luster of Walla Walla. At least we could steal a base, along with the fans money. The pitching was adequate, with four 10 game winners and four 10 game losers. Stan Spence was one of the bright spots on offense (leading most categories on the team). Spence also finished second to future Hall of Famer Ted Williams in intentional walks, what happens when you are almost the only consistent production on the team. Rumors of International unrest are spreading, which could mean a lot of new faces and a continued struggle to find offense last year.

SONOMA Crushers Manager: Jack Kohn (Patti) Age: 83 Occupation: Retired Newspaper Publisher

The Season Story

The 1946 season was a "near miss" for the Crushers who finished the regular season just a game behind division winner North Adams and then fell 4-3 in the Atmospheric Division playoffs when the home team captured all seven games. In our ninth season managing the El Dorado/Sonoma franchise it was the first climb into the post season. From a 5th place finish in 1951, our franchise has made a steady climb into second with hopes of making a move into the top spot in the 1945 chase. Shortstop Johnny Pesky grabbed the TML batting championship from his vital leadoff position 358/420/453, 117 runs scored. The top pitching efforts were shared by Fred Hutchinson (13-7), Bill Bevens (12-11 2.96) and Ken Raffensberger (14-6) along with stout reliever Earl Caldwell (25 saves). Trades that brought Pesky, Andy Seminick and Augie Galan to Sonoma were crucial in helping the Crushers climb to playoff status. We thank our trading partners!

SUMMER Cyclones Manager: Ken Fusci (Rozanne) Age: 73 Occupation: Retired – Part Time at Saratoga Casino

The Season Story

After a promising start to the '46 Season, the Cyclones hit the usage wall in the final month. They fell back to third place and out of playoff contention by 15 games at the end of the season. Too much reliance on the very good starting pitching and not enough depth in the batting lineup led to their downfall. Highlight of the Season was Tex Hughson's back-to-back no-hitters vs. Arkansas, a rare feat, even in a Season with a record number of no-hitters. Going back to '45 should see continued good starting pitching, but the lineup and depth will need to improve to stay in playoff contention.

Stat Key

RC (Runs Created) = [(A times B) plus C], all divided by D, where

A = H + BB + HBP - CS – GIDP B = TB + [.26 x (BB - IBB + HBP)] C = .52 x (SH + SF + SB) D = AB + BB + HBP + SH + SF

RC / 27 outs: runs created per 27 outs; in other words, the number of runs a player would create if he were to bat in all nine positions in the batting order.

QS (Quality Starts): the number of starts in which a pitcher pitches six (6) innings or more and gives up three (3) runs or fewer.

OAVG: the batting percentage against each pitcher.
