Ranking the races
Pittsburgh Dan Fox has posted an outtake from the Baseball Prospectus pennant race book, in which he ranks the greatest pennant races of all time. No surprise that the 1908 NL is first; the fun fact is that the 1908 AL is 13th. In the multi-division era, the 1977 American League East is ranked first.
Dave Studeman was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Follow his sporadic tweets @dastudes.
