My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season. The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.
1913 101-51 NL Pennant (lost to A’s 4 games to 1)

SP Jeff Tesreau 5.2
SP Al Demaree 2.95
RP Doc Crandall 1.05
