In real life 1934 (IRL), the 1933 defending World Series Winners New York Giants just missed the pennant by two games. Mel Ott, Jo-Jo Moore and player/manager Bill Terry (3b) provide the team's offensive spark. Carl Hubbell's phenomonal year overshadowed other superb seasons by NY pitchers Freddie Fitzsimmons and Hal Schumaker. Even New York's fourth starter, Roy Parmelee was better than average. The Giants bullpen was solid, but without a real "lights out" closer. They won two more pennants (1936 and 1937) before the decade ended. Player-manager Terry was just the second manager in Giants' history, having taken over for the legendary John McGraw during the 1932 season before leading the Giants to a World Series victory in 1933.Friday, May 18, 2007
