HISTORIC MLB TEAMS COLLECTION - SET 1 (8 TEAMS) $17.00

A historic collection of legendary teams from Major League Baseball's past.

 

Set I: 

 

1995 ATLANTA BRAVES: After winning the division for 5 straight years, the Atlanta Braves finally bring home a World Series title. Greg Maddux (19-2, 1.63 ERA) has one of the best seasons ever by a pitcher. Tom Glavine (16-7, 3.08 ERA) and John Smoltz (12-7, 3.18 ERA) aren't too shabby either. At the plate, Fred McGriff, Ryan Klesko, Chipper Jones and David Justice each have at least 20 home runs and 70 RBI. Marquis Grissom has 29 stolen bases. 

 
 
 

2004 BOSTON RED SOX: The team that broke the 85-year title drought known as the "Curse of the Bambino". Down 3-0 in the ALCS, Boston mounts the most impressive comeback in baseball history and knocks out the rival Yankees to reach and win the World Series. The slugging of Manny Ramirez (43 HR, 130 RBI) and David Ortiz (41 HR, 139 RBI) help to make the Red Sox the highest-scoring offense in the AL, while Pedro Martinez (16-9, 3.90 ERA) and Curt Schilling (21-7, 3.26 ERA) lead the pitching staff.

 

1975 CINCINNATI REDS: The ultimate team of the "Big Red Machine" era. The '75 club wins the title in seven games over Boston in what many consider to be the greatest series ever played. Joe Morgan (.974 OPS, 67 SB) is named NL MVP, while Johnny Bench (28 HR, 110 RBI), Tony Perez (20 HR, 109 RBI), Pete Rose (.317 BA, 112 R) and George Foster (.875 OPS, 23 HR) all have impressive seasons as well. The pitching staff, led by Gary Nolan, Jack Billingham and Don Gullett, also delivers a solid campaign with a 3.37 ERA that ranks third in the league.

 

 

1954 CLEVELAND INDIANS: With a rotation featuring three future Hall of Famers in Early Wynn (23-11, 2.73 ERA), Bob Lemon (23-7, 2.72 ERA) and Bob Feller (13-3, 3.09 ERA), the '54 Indians are considered one of the best pitching teams of all time. Despite piling up 111 victories and easily winning the AL pennant race by eight games, Cleveland is swept by Willie Mays and the New York Giants in the World Series.

 
 

1984 DETROIT TIGERS: The world champion Tigers lead the AL in scoring with an offense powered by Lance Parrish (33 HR, 98 RBI) and Kirk Gibson (27 HR, 29 SB). Jack Morris (19-11, 3.60 ERA) is the ace of the pitching staff, but it's closer Willie Hernandez (9-3, 1.92 ERA, 32 Saves) who takes home AL Cy Young and AL MVP honors, while appearing in a league-high 80 games. 

 

1963 LOS ANGELES DODGERS: The Dodgers win it all on the strength of their two aces, Sandy Koufax (25-5, 1.88 ERA, 306 K) and Don Drysdale (19-17, 2.63 ERA). With a mediocre offense, L.A. still manages to win the NL pennant by six games. In two complete game efforts, Koufax goes 2-0 in the World Series allowing only 12 hits while striking out 23 batters in a 4-0 sweep of the Yankees.

 
 
 

1969 NEW YORK METS: The "Miracle" Mets trail by as many as 10 games in August, but mount a fierce late-season rally to win the NL East by nine games and the World Series 4-1 over Baltimore. Tom Seaver (25-7, 2.21 ERA) captures his first career Cy Young Award, while Jerry Koosman (17-9, 2.28 ERA) is solid on the mound as well. On offense, Cleon Jones (.340 BA, 12 HR, 75 RBI) and Tommie Agee (26 HR, 76 RBI) propel this team of destiny.

 
 
 

1932 NEW YORK YANKEES : The Yankees are once again a dominant force on their way to a 4-0 sweep of the Cups in the World Series. Babe Ruth (.341 BA, 41 HR, 137 RBI) and Lou Gehrig (.349 BA, 34 HR, 151 RBI) are still larger than life. Lefty Gomez (24-7, 4.21 ERA), Red Ruffing (18-7, 3.09 ERA), George Pipgras (16-9, 4.19 ERA) and Johnny Allen (17-4, 3.70) provide a formidable rotation on the mound.
