Never before or since have four teams tied for the lead in baseball's final month. On three subsequent occasions including the season's final day, three of them tied again.

Overt psychological and physical intimidation played a major role throughout the season. The standings were volatile, and so were emotions. The stress of competing against so many other teams for so long was constant. Its effects on players, managers and teams were visibly corrosive in some cases and galvanizing in others. Tragically, some wilted or broke. Others responded heroically.]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
