Improved Pittsburgh Pitching Elevates 1937 Pennant Hopes
In early 1937 the Pittsburgh Pirates rise as serious NL pennant contenders due to a revived pitching staff led by Ed Brandt and Cy Blanton. Pie Traynor trades for Brandt and aims for 15 wins from the veteran southpaw while Blanton, Weaver, Lucas, and Sayers anchor the rotation alongside Hoyt and Swift in relief. Batting strength from Waner, Vaughan, Suhr, Jensen, Dickshot, and Lloyd Waner supports a competitive defense with Lee Handley at second, even if the hurling isn’t elite.
