Forever Giants: 1906 New York Giants(Year 24)

1905 is here.

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.

-Mathewson had diptheria; his younger brother started a game and gave up 14 walks. McGraw punched a fan in April, as seen with Mathewson the year before, player/fan violence not uncommon in the early 20th century.
