Forever Giants: 1893 New York Giants (Year 11)

1892 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.

1893 88-74

C  Jack Doyle 1.85

1B Roger Connor 5.1

2B Monte Ward 2.95

SS Shorty Fuller .8

3B George Davis 5.65

CF General Stafford -.3

C Jocko Milligan .25

C Parke Wilson -.15

P Amos Rusie MVPQ 9.6

-Rusie's got the second best Giants season in the now 11 year existence of the organization, we get the debut of George Davis.
