Mack and Collins Clash Over Historic Infield Feats
Cornelius Mack defends the Philadelphia infield of 1948 as superior to the famed 1913 14 Athletics unit. Edward Trowbridge Collins counters that the Black Sox era Chicago club had the stronger team, while the current Athletics boast hustle and spirit under Mack. Collins cites the 1913 14 A’s as a great team, though he ranks the Sox higher, and Mack continues to back his squad amid weather and coaching changes.
