What two years?

1943 when they trailed the Yankees by 29 games?

1944 when they trailed the Browns (who lost to the Cardinals in the WS 4-2) by 12 games?

1945 when they trailed the Tigers by 17.5 games.

.....and you just proved my point. See how bad they were without Williams. Dude made his TEAM better, Altuve makes his TEAM better. Harper & Trout.....please. Harper leaves and his former team wins the World Series the very next year. Prima-donnas. You can have them.


This is real WAR...and you said it:

29
12
17.5

His last year before he left they were 93-59 and the year he came back 104-50 and in the WS.

Thanks for the assist Bob!!!!!

1942-93-59 (w/Williams)
1943-68-84 (w/o Williams)
1944-77-77 (w/o Williams)
1945-71-83 (w/o Williams)
1946-104-50 (w/Williams)


and actually I'm not too good with math, but I'd say his WARII is about 30 each of those years....Wins w/Williams!!!
