Week 1 Summary

Week 1 is completed and, well, there isn’t much really to report on yet as the NL has played only seven games and the AL doesn't actually start play until the middle of this upcoming week. I am not going to include leaders or do any sort of in-depth statistics analysis this week - there will be plenty of time for that. I have included the usual set of stats, mostly just to remind myself what I plan to do after each week

Regardless, the ATMgr is working as expected and I feel we are off to a good start. I have noticed that with only a 140 game season that the as-played schedule often has plenty of days with a less than a full schedule of games. Once you figure in the normal weather interruptions plus the normal (for 1901) sub-standard playing facilities and less than optimal travel options then the ability to get games played is going to be a challenge for both leagues. Never fear - the games will be played, as doubleheaders will be implemented and somehow, someway, the season will be completed.

Week 24 Summary

John McGraw Week 24 is in the books and the AL has completed play, with the Chicago White Stockings as the AL Champs. The NL is not far behind, but they won’t finish up until next Sunday as they have 22 games remaining to complete. Pittsburgh's magic number is down to four and they have five games left to play - three with Boston to start the week, and two with Chicago to end the week. Brooklyn only has two games remaining, both with New York, so they are going to need some outside help to close that three-game gap with the Pirates. Hugh Duffy Once the NL is finished I will provide a more in-depth team-by-team summary and an extended final stats leaders summary as well, so this will be another abbreviated post. The end is very close so it is just about time wrap this project up. Amos Rusie

1901 World Series and Finale

World Series Game One, Tuesday, October 8, 1901 The heat of the long hot Chicago summer had broken just in time for the commencement of the inaugural World Series and it was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon at South Side Park in Chicago. The home team, the Chicago White Stockings, had not played an official game in ten days, but were happy for the time off and were happy to have catcher Billy Sullivan back and able to play after his finger injury in the last week of the season plus pitcher Roy Patterson had rejoined the club after he had been allowed to return home before the end of the season. The visitors, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had just completed their regular season two days previous, but were happy for the day off on Monday and were ready to go as well. South Side Park, Chicago IL There was a concern as to whether this event would ever happen as both the leagues were still at war with each other, but both leagues, both teams, and the players all saw an opportunit...
