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.

RP Rosy Ryan .5-With aid of a backup outfielder named Casey Stengel, the Giants win their first World Series in 16 years knocking off the Yankees in 8 games. George Burns finishes up, through 2016 he was still a top 30 all Time Giant.
