Seattle Team Poised to Replicate Last Year’s Fast Play
Seattle opens the season confident the 1910 roster will match or exceed last year’s success. Lee Magee’s vacancy at first base challenges the choice between Schaefer and Thompson, with Pennington or Akin options for third base. George Pennington, from the Waterhe ? club, stands as a veteran fallback, while Collins and Johnston bolster defense. Multiple new players will join training to prove themselves, but the core remains strong and bat power appears superior to the 1899 champions.
