Frisch Builds Pirates Into Real Pennant Threat
Frankie Frisch’s Pittsburgh Pirates of 1942 show a club record sixteen wins in twenty exhibition games and pose a serious challenge to the Cardinals and Dodgers for National League supremacy. If they maintain this pace in the regular season, Frisch could build Pittsburgh into a pennant winner within three years. He reshaped the club, keeping only six of 26 players from the 1939 Pie Traynor era as he traded and bought to form a new roster, after finishing fourth in 1940 and 1941.
