Tournament of Champions

For my next set of games, I will be playing a tournament featuring the top two teams from each of the four published Diamond Legacies volumes. The first round will be a single elimination game. The second round (semifinals) will be best two-of-three. And the finals will be a four-of-seven series. All pitchers will be limited to no more than three innings of work in the first-round game.

Tournament brackets are based on seedings with the following first-round matchups. Higher seeds are the home team.

(1) 1927 New York Yankees vs. (8) 1948 Homestead Grays

(4) 1927 Chicago American Giants vs. (5) 1948 Cleveland Indians

(3) 1975 Cincinnati Reds vs. (6) 1934 Philadelphia Stars

(2) 1934 St. Louis Cardinals vs. (7) 1975 Boston Red Sox

All players on the team rosters are assumed to be healthy, so players like Jim Rice who missed the 1975 World Series will be eligible to play in this tournament.

Up first, the Yankees vs. the Grays.
