The 1956 Yankees lost three of their first four games against the 1961 Yankees but won the last two games to earn a split and remain six games over .500 at 21-15. The '61 Yankees stayed eight games under at 38-46.

Roger Maris powered the '61 Yankees to a 10-6 win in Game One with a 2-3, double, homerun and five RBI performance. His three-run homer in the 7th inning broke a 6-6 tie. Yogi Berra took over for the '61 Yankees in their 8-4 win in Game Two. Berra went 3-4 with two homeruns, three RBI, and three runs scored. The '61 Yankees took a 3-1 lead in the series in Game Four with a tight 3-2 win, thanks to Mickey Mantle’s two-run homerun in the 8th inning that broke a 1-1 tie. Tom Sturdivant led the comeback for the '56 Yankees in Game Five with a 7-1 complete game win in which he struck out 10 batters. The '56 Yankees completed the split in the last game with a 4-2 win. Enos Slaughter hit two triples, one with the bases loaded in the first to give them a 3-2 lead, the other that lead to their other run.

Slaughter is one of three '56 Yankee hitters batting over .300; Berra leads at .319 and leads the team in RBI with 36. Mantle is hitting .305 and leads the team in homeruns with eight. Slaughter is hitting .305. Whitey Ford picked up his first loss; he is 5-1 with a 2.18 ERA. Sturdivant’s gem improved his record to 4-2 with a 3.87 ERA.

Elston Howard regained the lead in average for the '61 Yankees at .331 with 21 homeruns, 56 RBI, and 63 runs scored. Mantle cooled slightly in this series but is still hitting .328 and hit two more homeruns to give him 36 along with 77 RBI. Maris also hit two homeruns in the series to give him 37 for the season and 83 RBI. Luis Arroyo picked up his 21st save to go along with a 3.80 ERA. The '61 Yankees will face the 18-12 1936 Yankees in the next series.

This helps Jeremy, thanks.

I keep waiting for the micromanager to handle pitching realistically before getting into a full season replay.

Newspaper style boxscore would be great like the old days.

It’s not great.

Is the a way to change the entire replay league to DH with 1 move so I don’t have to do it every game? Is Malcom an better. Pedro is terrible.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Thank you Jeremy! I hope you have a great new year! Cheers.

@Nooch66 Awesome!

That is cool! Did you use APBA GO? I am just starting 1984 with Replay option.

Thank you, Jeremy

The All Star Break has arrived. Here are the standings; note: A few teams have played a couple of more games than others because coordinating schedules wasn’t easy. :)

**East Division**

1905 New York Giants 59-19
2019 Washington Nationals 40-38
1979 Pittsburgh Pirates 37-40
1969 New York Mets 34-43
1980 Philadelphia Phillies 33-44
1997 Florida Marlins 29-48

**Central/West Division**

1907 Chicago Cubs 45-32
1942 St. Louis Cardinals 43-37
1957 Milwaukee Braves 41-36
1976 Cincinnati Reds 40-38
2001 Arizona Diamondbacks 33-44
1963 Los Angeles Dodgers 31-46

Obviously, the Central/West Division race is more compelling because the '05 Giants are just ridiculous. They have a team batting average of .309. .309!! Their 521 runs scored are over 100 more than the Big Red Machine of 1976 (394). Either their cards are flawed compared to their actual stats, or they are getting the best run of random computer dice rolls ever. Dan McGann, the current favorite for MVP hit .299 in 1905 with 5 homeruns, 14 triples, 23 doubles, 75 RBI, and a .825 OPS. McGann after 78 games? .375, 10 homeruns, 11 triples, 18 doubles, 97 RBI, 1.033 OPS. Oh and 20 stolen bases too. Good grief. Here are the other All-Stars:

2B: Joe Morgan: .281, 16 HR, 62 RBI, 76 runs scored, 41 steals, 1.000 OPS.

3B: Mike Schmidt: .240, 21 HR, 62 RBI, .891 OPS

SS: Bill Dahlen: .277, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 24 SBs

OF: Mike Donlin: .436, 70 RBI, 67 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 1.046 OPS.

OF: George Foster: .299, 14 HRs, 66 RBI, 46 runs scored, 18 stolen bases.

OF: Henry Aaron: .286, 24 HRs, 61 RBI, 51 RBI, .909 OPS

C: Roger Breshnahan: .318, 78 runs scored, 26 stolen bases.

SP: Johnny Beazley: 11-4, 1.98 ERA, .140 OBA

I like it. Keep us posted. I know what you’re saying about three playoff teams vs two. But I think you’ll appreciate how many more games will still be relevant late in your season. And a short 2vs3 playoff will be fun as well…

How did you enjoy 1908? All games played or autoplay?

Hello,

I created some steps to help me replay the Rays 2022 season using the collections feature and wanted to share my results. It does require a little work upfront, but it is worth it.

Goals:

Record stats for individual gameplay with the capability of adding notes and real-life results data. Roll up individual game data into a season bucket (Collection). Be able to retrieve any given game by the actual sked date.

Note: You’ll need access to Excel or a spreadsheet to import comma-delimited data. These instructions do not cover the Excel instructions.

I will replay the Rays 2022 season on APBA GO for this example.

Navigate to retrosheet.org and download the 2022 game log data file. Import the file into Excel. I only used the first 13 fields in the dataset – they are described below. Filter for TPA or your team’s 2022 schedule
a. I used the following columns but use what you want.
i. Date, Game #, Day, Visiting team, VT League, VT game #, Home team, HT League, HT game #, VT team score, HT score, # of outs and Day/Night indicator.
b. Save your Excel file. Navigate to APBAGO Create a collection called 2022 Season Replay – TB Rays Create a collection for single gameplay. I added the actual game date and scores to the collection description. This is a copy-and-paste function from the retrosheet excel file to the collection description field. You can add game notes in the description area. Play a solitaire or micromanager game. Upon completing the game, assign your game to the 2022 season replay collection and the individually named game day collection.

I hope this helps anyone trying to organize their gameplay using APBA GO.

Regards,
Sean - RaysFan
