My creation… 30 random teams hosted inside the Holodeck. Each round will be played in steps with 2 teams per step. Winners move up a step, losers move down a step, while the unfortunate team that drops the tribble at Step 1 is ejected from the simulation, unceremoniously dumped from the arch, and left to the cold void of the ship’s memory purge before the dropped franchise rights are auctioned off to the highest-bidding Ferengi trader and a brand-new random team is materialized in their place.

Detroit broke the 2–2 tie in the sixth when Ira FLAGSTEAD launched a solo homer, then added two more in the seventh on a Ty COBB triple and Bobby VEACH single.

Oscar STANAGE doubled home Ralph YOUNG in the sixth, and Detroit finished with 11 hits.

Baltimore’s John LOWENSTEIN drove in two with a first-inning double, but Detroit starter Bill JAMES held the Orioles to two runs over seven innings, striking out eight.

Eddie MURRAY homered in the eighth, but Detroit held on for the win.
.
Postgame Note: Bill JAMES earned the win and improved to Grade B during the game, while Steve STONE’s grade dropped as Detroit’s bats heated up.

Upon being interviewed years after his retirement as a player, [Jim] Bottomley expressed his personal philosophy perfectly: “I don’t have a regret in the world. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve loved every minute of it.” Why was he nicknamed “Sunny Jim”? Bottomley’s own words said it all. - https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Jim-Bottomley/
