For reference purposes, the links to the basketball standings provide a brief evolutionary history of the N.B.A. ... ... Additionally, press dates for Pollet's shutouts supplied pretexts for posting sample links of other coincidental news events. ... Pollet won the N.L. ERA title in 1943 and again in 1946 after returning from WWII.
