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.

-Count Montefusco is the Rookie of the Year, Ed Halicki no hits the Mets, The Giants have back to back sub .500 pythags and Westrum is replaced by Bill Rigney at season's end, doing two non consecutive stints as Giant manager like he's Grover Cleveland. Again, the Giants finish last in attendance. Again, no future Hall of Famers on this club.
