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.

-The second century of Giants baseball brings us another year with a pythag under .500. We're near the bottom of the league in attendance (every year) and Marichal's elected to the Hall of Fame. Barr and Evans are done.
