Week 2 Summary


The American League finally began to play this week but from a replay perspective it is Week Two that is completed now and I am going to stick with that nomenclature. The National League began to play ten days ago, but it is only in the past two days that both leagues have really cranked it up and began to play a full schedule every day. I am still hesitant to go into any statistical analysis of the replay just because of the lack of games played to date though. Never fear - both leagues go full speed every day starting in Week Three.

Week Two did feature a No-Hitter! Milwaukee starter Ned Garvin shutdown Detroit on Friday, April 26, over Frank Owen. I don't know why I have so many no-hitters in my replays. I had six (six!) in my 1930 replay and three in my 1949 replay, and now I have wasted no time picking up my first one here in 1901. Detroit came back to score 21 runs against Milwaukee the following day, so on average, I suppose you could say the results of the two combined games would be pretty normal.

Everything is still going well so far. This is obviously a different type of baseball that I am still adjusting too. Not having the box scores in BBR is vaguely problematic. I always had them open for whatever game I was playing and it allowed me to see what relievers or pinch-hitters were used on that day. There aren’t that many lineup adjustments in 1901, but it was still comforting to have that information available.

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...
