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 Bill McGee 0-All time great Johnny Mize comes to the Giants; they forfeit a September game against a rookie named Warren Spahn when kids (who got free admission for bringing scrap metal to the park) couldn't be kept off the field. It's Danning's last season and Mize/Schumacher are both about to miss the next three years for military service.
