All four series in week two resulted in one side taking three of the four games. The 1920 Cleveland Indians did so for the second straight week, moving them to the top of the standings. The 1925 Washington Senators, 1927 New York Yankees and 1929 Chicago Cubs also moved to the top half of the leaderboard. We’re a quarter of the way through the season and the Yankees’ Bob Meusel is hitting a ridiculous .515 with 12 extra-base hits.
Two big series are coming up in week three: the Indians face the Cubs, and the 1922 New York Giants will take on the Senators.
