Once again, the 1958 Yankees split a six game series while alternating wins; this time it was with the 1951 Yankees. The '58 Yankees stayed two games under .500 at 50-52 while the '51 Yankees remained eight games over .500 at 28-20.

All three '58 Yankee wins were of the spectacular kind. In Game One, Mickey Mantle hit two homeruns to give them an early 3-1 lead. The '51 Yankees tied the game with a run in the 8th and a pinch-hit RBI single by Johnny Hopp in the 9th. Hank Bauer ended the game for the '58 Yankees with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th for a 4-3 win. In Game Three, they took a 4-0 1st. inning lead on an Andy Carey grand slam. The '51 Yankees scored eight unanswered runs to lead 8-4 after seven innings. Carey hit his second homerun of the game, a two-run blast, to trim the deficit to 8-6 in the 8th, but the '51 Yankees tacked two more in the 9th on back-to-back bases loaded walks to lengthen the lead to 10-6. The game ended with fireworks as the '58 Yankees pounded three homeruns, a pair of two-run dingers by Gil McDougald and Yogi Berra to tie the game. After Berra tied the game, Moose Skowron hit a walk-off tater for an amazing 11-10 win. In Game Five, the '58 Yankees jumped out to a 5-0 lead. Once again, the '51 Yankees came roaring back, scoring six unanswered runs, culminated by a pinch hit two-run homer by McDougald in the 8th to take a 6-5 lead. McDougald’s homerun was part of a bench performance that also included Hopp and Johnny Mize that combined to go 3-3 with a homerun, three runs scored and four RBI. Berra put the '58 Yankees back in the lead to stay in the 9th on a two-run single for a 7-6 win. All of the '51 Yankee wins came in pitching duels; 3-2 in Game Two, 2-0 in Game Four, and 3-2 in 15 innings in Game Six.

Mantle leads the '51 Yankees in hitting at .296. Berra leads the team in homeruns with nine and RBI with 40 while hitting .254. Vic Raschi is 8-3 with a 1.70 ERA. Tom Morgan pitched a one hit shutout in Game Four to pick up his first win; he reduced his ERA to 5.21.

Carey hit his 20th homerun in the series; he leads the the '58 Yankees in RBI with 73 while hitting .249. Ryne Duren picked up his 19th save in this series; he also lowered his ERA to 2.02. The '58 Yankees will face the 34-20 1936 Yankees in the next series.

Exceptionally well-written. Nice job.

Am just curious… when playing with a micro manager (which admittedly, I never do) do you not still have the pre-game option of clicking ‘thumbs down’ on players who are not eligible to play that day? (ie. other starting pitchers, tired relievers, injured players?). Because that’s a great solution whenever I’ve played solitaire games on Autoplay.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
That works too. Thank you.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
For additional Information there is an email sent to customer support on 3/4/25 with the title of APBAGO 1950 season replay with the transactions in red are the players whose cards are not where they should be for 1950 replay.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy The replay lineups have problems when player is traded later in the season is not restored back to the team the player began the season with. In the 1950 season almost every player that was sold or claimed on waivers is on the wrong team

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?
