The coolest thing about the Washington version is that every player is in his actual position, all nine of them! I don't know if that true for every team, but when I started playing around with them and realized that they would frame out that way in a diamond, I really freaked out. In addition, that team was completely intact for the first good four years the franchise ever had, 1912-1915, after Clark Griffith took over as manager. Griffith called it "my little ball club," and it finished second, second, third, and fourth in the American League with great defense and speed on the base paths. It didn't hurt that Walter Johnson was in his prime, putting up staggering numbers all around and winning 36, 33, 28, and 27 games in the time this team was together. This is one of my favorite pieces.
