1997 N.L. DIVISION SERIES #1
Manhattan Gas Hornets @ Steel City Sluggers |
|---|
  Preview – National League Division Series features a match up of two Eastern Division Teams – Steel City, the NL’s best team (113 wins) vs. Manhattan – winner of the Wild Card series (and 107 game winner in the regular season). These two GMs are developing quite the history across many leagues and this series should just add to that lore. Regular season – Manhattan owned the series 14 games to 8. But this is the post season and Steel City owns a slight edge in pitching, Manhattan in batting (NL leaders). |
