The1930 Brooklyn Robins were in first place from mid-May through mid-August but faded down the stretch and finished the season in fourth place.
This team featured one of the best offensive players in the game inBabe Herman and one of the best pitchers inHall of FamerDazzy Vance. Herman was arguably the second-bestNational League hitter in 1930, afterHack Wilson. He finished in the top three inbatting average,on-base percentage, andslugging percentage.
Vance was even more impressive. He led the NL inERA by more than a full run, at 2.61. Considering that 1930 was a great year for hitters, statistically, this number is far better than it actually seems. Vance was also second instrikeouts and anchored a pitching staff that allowed the fewest runs in the league.
