Major League Baseball has had its share of classic pennant races. One of the best was the AL's three-way race in 1908. This quiz is about the teams that participated in this hard-fought race and the players that led to their team's success or failure. Enjoy!

Sources: Charles Alexander's biography of Ty Cobb was my first introduction to this great pennant race. Bill James' Historical Baseball Abstract, Pete Palmer's Baseball Encyclopedia, and baseball-almanac.com helped to flesh out the details.

Wow, some stellar guessing combined with a recent fun time with Bill James and Neft and Cohen, and I did better on this than I imagined!
