Forever Giants:1942 New York Giants(Year 60)

1941 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.

-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.

-It's not terrible, a 77 win pythag, but this is the worst Giants team since 1915.  There were worse things than being a Giants fan for the first half of the 20th century.  They stopped a game in the middle in May so the fans could listen to FDR talk about the war.  Ott hit his 400th homer and after the season replaced Terry as the team's manager.

-A fight with the Dodgers, a spitting match with an umpire that cost Billy Jurges ten games in the Giants worst season in 13 years.
