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

1901 Philadelphia Phillies
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.

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...

Week 7 Summary

Week 7 is in the books and the season has reached the month of June. The pennant races are still bunched up with a lot of churn seen in the middle of the pack, but Pittsburgh and Boston remain atop of the standings in their respective leagues. Each league still has two teams that haven’t reached the thirty games played mark yet, the two at the top in the AL and two of the three at the bottom in the NL. The AL has surpassed the NL in the number of games played, despite the NL getting a week head start on their new compatriots. Both leagues have started their eastern and western swings and at this point, the only teams that haven’t face each other yet are Baltimore and Cleveland, which will get fixed immediately when Week 8 commences. 1901 New York Ginats In the AL, Boston is fifth in the league in hitting and fourth in ERA, but thanks to Cy Young's 9-0 start and 0.89 ERA they enjoy a comfortable 4.5 game lead. Baltimore is second in the league in hitting and ERA and has man...

Week 19 Summary

Week 19 is in the books and the 1901 replay marches on. Three teams still haven’t reached the 100 games-played mark, all three in the NL, although that will be rectified shortly. It is only a 140 game season, so the end is drawing nigh. I was curious - there were 59 games played in Week 17, 43 in both Weeks 18 and 19 (although Week 18 was another doubleheader extravaganza), and there will be 53 games played in the upcoming Week 20. Ed Delahanty Pittsburgh continues to hold onto first place in the NL, although Brooklyn has cut their lead down to only three games. The Pirates always get good pitching, but their hitters are listless sometimes. Both Philadelphia and Brooklyn swing hot and cold - Brooklyn is hot now, Philadelphia is not. Boston has clawed their way past New York again, and below them, Chicago and St. Louis are both looking to move up in the standings with a late-season rush (if they can stay healthy). Cincinnati has provided some pain to the teams at the top of th...
