The 1928 Yankees surprisingly split their six game series with the 1952 Yankees after winning the first three games.

George Pipgras pitched a two-hit shutout in Game One for a 8-0 win. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Bob Meusel homered back-to-back-to back in a four run 5th inning for a 7-1 win in Game Two. After losing 8-3 in Game Three, the '52 Yankees won Game Four 10-3. Joe Collins went 3-5 with four RBI. They scored seven runs in the 1st. inning of Game Five and cruised to a 12-5 win. It looked like Pipgras would suffer his first loss, as the '28 Yankees trailed 3-2 in the 9th. But Ruth homered to tie the game. The defense let them down in the bottom of the inning as they committed back to back errors with two outs, leading to a walk-off single by Yogi Berra for the win.

Mickey Mantle leads the '52 Yankees in hitting at .308 with 19 home runs, 106 RBI, 106 runs scored, 16 triples, and a .919 OPS. Hank Bauer is hitting .302 with 22 home runs, 93 RBI, and 76 runs scored. Gene Woodling is hitting .293 with 109 runs scored and 78 RBI. Joe Collins is hitting .279 with 32 home runs, 130 RBI, 90 runs scored, and 11 triples. Berra is hitting .243 with 27 home runs, 95 RBI and 107 runs scored. Allie Reynolds is 19-9 with a 2.54 ERA.

Lazzeri raised his average to .355 with 10 home runs, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored, 11 triples, and a 1.017 OPS. Gehrig raised his average to .333 while driving in eight runs in the series to give him 73 to go with 12 home runs, 59 runs scored, and a 1.027 OPS. Earle Combs hit .407 in the series to raise his average to .333 with 10 triples, 79 runs scored, and a .930 OPS. Ruth’s average dropped to .315 but he hit three home runs with seven RBI in the series to give him 29 home runs, 76 RBI, 85 runs scored and a 1.193 OPS. Meusel hit .429 in the series to raise his average to .269 with 69 RBI. Pipgras is now 12-0 with a 2.64 ERA. Waite Hoyt is 11-0 with a 1.59 ERA. Herb Pennock is 9-1 with a 3.03 ERA. That’s a combined 32-1 with a combined 2.38 ERA when any of those three pitchers start. The '28 Yankees will face the 63-69 2009 Yankees in the next series.

I would love better play-by-play commentary in the Master Game. It’s the only area where the Basic Game is much better.

Basic (solitaire).

@TSBL Yes, but at least, the AI says you’re a “sophisticated” history geek…

Boston massacred the A’s pitching, winning the first two games of their key series in come from behind fashion, 4-3 and 7-5… with the A’s touching Smoky Joe Wood for 5 runs, but still losing… Wood himself started a 3 run rally in the 7th that gave the Sox the win. Jack Coombs spun a 3 hit shutout to salvage game 3 and keep the As in 3, but their chances to move up have dropped greatly.

Tris Speaker had a huge series, raising his average to .336 (2nd), leads the league with an amazing 16 doubles and is now 2nd with 25 RBIs… one 3-run home run away from triple crown position.

With 3 series (9 games) remaining, The Cubs lead Boston by a single game, with the As 6 back.

@ddruk It’s on the to do list.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@Steve_Admin okay sounds good! thank you!

@wildfire2099 thanks! Ive been playing for a week and realized they have most of them in the book. However it took some time to learn them. Ive already added the optional rules aswell and im looking for a deeper experience so I found the master edition secondhand. This game is awesome but I need it to be a little more involved than the basic game. But the shipping prices at the apba website are insane right now.

the basic game letters are a range on numbers from the advanced game. so A&C would be 20-24.

@TSBL Logically, it should be all runners. But maybe at that level, in that league, it’s only the winning run counts. Who knows?

okay cool thank you! that answers both of my questions. My fielding rating was too high for both teams. And after playing apba go I was pretty sure there was only a dice roll for the batter. Thanks for explaining that now I can get into the game!

Where do you go to start a trade transaction on the website? Please refresh my memory, it’s been awhile.

I’ve seen some of the footage. It looks great! We were down there getting footage for our documentary and it was such a blast to meet so many great people.

@TSBL I think I’m familiar with this issue.

When the substitution screens pops up for that second time, where it shows the position, click that and choose what position you want to put him.

I hope that fixes what your experiencing…

Congrats to Mr. Toth! He is a huge GO player and guest on this week’s APBA Podcast.
