Bob Turley 1 hits Washington

The only hit in this game came on a gb p x; which means it was up to Turley's fielding ability to resolve the at bat. in this case, a single. The hit came in the 4th inning so there was no end of game no-hit drama.

The powerhouse Yankees scored their run via a double followed by three consecutive walks. They had 3 hits for the game.

Wild game in 1960 Replay

The Yankees go up 6-0 by virtue of a single, double and triple by Mantle in the first four innings. An Allison HR cuts it to 6-1 but in the bottom of the 5th, Washington scores 7 times keyed by Allison's 2nd HR of the game, a Grand Slam this time, and immediately followed by a HR from Jim Lemon.

Down 8-6 the Yanks, squeaked together a run and that led to the top of the 9th rally. With one out, Clete Boyer got his sixth consecutive pinch hit and Gil McDougal hit a game winning two run HR.

Gil McDougald homered and had 3 RBI as the New York Bronx Bombers came back to
win one over Washington Politicians, 9 to 8.
 
New York erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning plating 2 runs
on 2 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Clete Boyer initiated the scoring
spurt when he ripped a one-base hit.  McDougald stepped into the batter's box
and he clubbed a two-run home run.  Duke Maas, after tossing a perfect ninth,
was credited with his 4th save.  
 
The victory went to Ryne Duren(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs. Don
Lee(1-2) was hit with the loss in relief.  'Casey Stengal was estatic
following the game, 'You love stealing one on the road like this.  We just
kept plugging away until we pulled it out!'

1960 Baseball Replay - May NL update

This update will bring me current to my replay games completed. I have finished May for the NL and now will begin the AL May games. There was some significant changes and movements in the league during May.

You can see Pittsburgh had a great month going 18-9 while Milwaukee went 9-11. Not only do they now have a 5.5 game lead but they also have played 9 more games (approx 25%) which is why the "counting stats" like HRs are not fully balanced yet. It's interesting to see how Pittsburgh is only one game off their actual 1960 pace but the Giants area full 9 games off their 1960 pace and what should be a competitive race between the two teams, is not, yet. I have decided to play the Giants and the Pirates in June to see if that levels the results some. All the other teams are remarkably close to their actuals for 1960.

the League leaders changed a lot as more games were played and Strat's engine worked the statistics to bring in more normal results...

The amazing performance for the month overall goes to Tony Taylor who is now 3rd in batting and 4th in OPS. Strat's award voting places Willie Mays as the MVP for this first part of the season. Dick Groat is still having great success too.

On the pitching side, Vern Law has been the class of the league with 8 wins and a 1.92 ERA.

The leading hitters in April's small statistical sample were Harmon Killebrew,  Nellie Fox and Hector Lopez. There were four pitchers with ERAs under 1.00, with Whitey Ford leading the way, so we will review pitching after more games have been played. Note: Williams had 3 HRs for the month and they were all in his first 3 ABs, then nothing more.

This is fun and gaining some momentum.


Here's the American League 1960 yearbook to celebrate April...






1960 replay - April NL update

The season got off to a great start with some surprising performances. As a person, who doesn't know these teams too well, I was quite impressed with the quality of the batters and enjoyed the many come from behind games that made playing these games fun.

With such a small sample of games, I will wait until another month is played before making many observations. I know Dick Groat was the MVP and he is having a great start to the season. Based on what I see, I think Willie Mays will give him a lot of competition for MVP in this replay, but the Giants may not be as good and complete of a team as the Pirates.

The highlight pitching performance was a one hitter by Don Drysdale in a LOSING effort vs. the Cubs as the Dodgers lost 2-1. Vern Law has a .036 ERA in his 3 starts in the first month.


One feature of my blog will be to include a team's 1960 yearbook cover so we can all see what they looked like 66 years ago.
