Runaway Races Hurt Interest In Big Leagues
The 1929 major league season lacked competitive pennant races as the Athletics led the American League by five games after June 1 and the Cubs dominated the National League, with Philadelphia's Connie Mack era awarding the World Series to Mack’s A’s. Lefty O'Doul led NL batting with 400, Chuck Klein set a NL home run record with 43, Lew Fonseca claimed the NL batting title and MVP buzz, Wesley Ferrell emerged as a top pitching prospect, and Johnny Frederick set a NL single-season two-baggers mark. Major managerial changes punctuated a generally dull title chase.
