Cubs now tied for 2nd highest run differential in modern era through 27 games. Only 1902 Pirates were better.

Was that a Honus Wagner led squad?

Put this in the game thread, but fits nicely here as well...

Fun stat: Cubs run differential is more than the Yankees have scored all year.

Wagner was good that year, but Ginger Beaumont was better.

Edit: Actually Wagner was better (per WAR). I just noticed that on Baseball Reference, when you look up a team, they show a neat graphic with the top 12 players by WAR. I checked out the 1975 Reds and was surprised to see Cesar Geronimo (someone I considered the weakest link in the starting lineup) actually having a higher WAR than Concepcion, Griffey, and Perez.

It seems rather silly to compare teams 100 years apart. It's like comparing someone in the modern NBA to George Mikan.

Just in time for Mult day. Yes, it is silly to compare teams from 100 years ago.

Okay, this is Bagels or Favre Fan and they underrate Mikan.
