This visualization, rendered with D3 and Lodash, displays the winning percentages of eight classic National League baseball teams throughout the 1909 season. Each team's path tracks its cumulative win ratio game-by-game, revealing the fluctuating pennant race. The x-axis is a time scale using Wednesdays as tick marks, while the y-axis is a distorted scale that compresses the upper and lower ranges to emphasize the middle competition. Team labels follow their respective paths using SVG `textPath`. Data is sourced from Retrosheet game logs.
