Give the Giants a decent starting pitcher, and suddenly they look like a first-division team. New York dominated as Bob Romby held the Phillies to just 5 hits.
In 1949, Bob Romby’s Baltimore Elite Giants took up residence in the NAL – the NNL having folded. What team did they defeat in the playoffs for the league championship that year?
