The 1927 Yankees and the 1958 Yankees split their six game series. The '27 Yankees stayed 20 games over .500 at 43-23 while the '58 Yankees remain 10 games under .500 at 61-71.

The '27 Yankees got their offense rolling early, scoring nine runs in each of the first two games in 9-7 and 9-3 wins. In Game Two, Babe Ruth put his stamp on the team’s five run first inning with a three-run homerun. The '58 Yankees got their first win in Game Three in a back-and-forth affair. The '27 Yankees scored four runs in the 7th to take a 5-3 lead. The '58 Yankees tied the game with two runs in the 8th and won it 6-5 on a walk-off solo homerun by Andy Carey. The '58 Yankees evened the series in Game Four with a 5-3 win; Mickey Mantle belted two solo homeruns in the game. Speaking of homers, the '27 Yankees blasted four from Earle Combs, Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Tony Lazzeri in a, you guessed it, 9-3 win. Bobby Shantz shut out that prolific offense with a five-hitter in a 3-0 to even the series for the '58 Yankees.

Combs leads the '27 Yankees in hitting at .363 with 11 stolen bases and 62 runs scored. Ruth is hitting .355 with 31 homeruns, 84 RBI, 82 runs scored, and a 1.327 OPS. Gehrig is hitting .351 with 20 homeruns, 75 RBI, 73 runs scored, and a 1.174 OPS. Bob Meusel is hitting .313 with 60 RBI and 51 runs scored. Lazzeri is hitting .306 with 12 homeruns, 56 RBI and 10 stolen bases. Waite Hoyt went 1-1 in his two starts to improve his record to 11-3 with a 2.65 ERA.

Norm Siebern raised his average to .305; he hit his 10th homerun and has 93 runs scored. Mantle has 35 homeruns and 85 RBI while hitting .274 with 14 stolen bases, 89 runs scored, and a .968 OPS. Carey hit his 30th homerun in this series and has 91 RBI despite hitting .235. Whitey Ford won his start to improve his record to 11-8 with a 2.53 ERA. The '58 Yankees will take on the 30-24 1978 Yankees in the next series.

Hi,

Once you’ve purchased the 2025 season, there are a couple of ways to view the rosters and player cards.

Option 1: Using Custom Teams which is the easiest method. If you have the Custom Teams unlock, click Custom Teams on the main menu. Then Create a new team and select Manage.From there, you’ll be able to search for players, view their cards, and customize your team as you like.

Option 2: Viewing Cards In-Game. You can also view player cards while setting up a game creating a new game and select the desired 2025 team. On the lineup selection screen, you’ll be able to view player cards and stats directly.

Hope this helps,

@BogotaBrave

Me again lol. So to recap, with what I expressed a desire to do will this cover my costs?

Unlimited Unlock. $25
1995. Season. $25
1976 Season. $25
4 Teams from the 1964 season @$4.00=. $16
5 Reds World Series Teams. @$4.00 =$20. Actually $19 as 1990 team listed as $3.00??? Maybe a typo. no biggie.
TOTAL=$111

Guessing for another $9.00. I could get the entire '64 season.
Does this seem correct?

Thanks.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Thanks. Sounds as if this is an easy call. Am really looking forward to this project.

And that’s a wrap! The 1985 Blue Jays are my tournament champs, featuring great teams from the 1970’s and '80s!
The Jays swept the 1983 White Sox in two straight games in the best-of-three championship final.

Here’s the playoff recap…

QUARTER-FINAL:
'83 ORIOLES 4
'71 A’s 5
Oakland rallied with three runs in the bottom of the 8th to eliminate Baltimore. Sal Bando’s two-run HR with two out was the difference.

SEMI-FINAL #1:
'85 BLUE JAYS 6
'83 WHITE SOX 3
After Chicago had tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the eighth, Toronto responded with three runs in the top of the ninth. With two out, Tony Fernandez tripled home two runs, then scored on Lou Thornton’s RBI single.

SEMI-FINAL #2:
'71 A’s 2
'83 WHITE SOX 6
Rudy Law and Carlton Fisk each had three hits to pace Chicago. Fisk drove in five runs with a homer, double and single. Rich Dotson (A-Y) went eight strong innings to become the tournament’s only three-game winner.

CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL #1:
'83 WHITE SOX 2
'85 BLUE JAYS 4 (13 innings)
For the third time in four tournament meetings, the Sox and Jays went extra innings. This one was a classic. It featured the tournament’s only triple play, on a Willie Upshaw line drive out with runners on first and second. Up 1-0, Dave Stieb (A-Y) took a perfect game into the ninth, but it was broken up by Jerry Hairston’s pinch-hit single to lead off the top of the inning. Hairston then scored the tying run on Rudy Law’s two-out double.
The two teams then exchanged runs in the 12th inning, before Ernie Whitt smacked a two-out, two-run HR off Jerry Koosman (C-Z) in the bottom of the 13th. Both bullpens were taxed in the opening game of this best-of-three series.

CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL #2:
'85 BLUE JAYS 7
‘83 WHITE SOX 4
The Blue Jays claimed the title with a convincing win over White Sox ace LaMarr Hoyt (A-YZ). George Bell, Jesse Barfield and Rance Mulliniks all took Hoyt deep in his 6+ innings. Doyle Alexander (B-YZ) and Bill Caudill (B-Y) held the Sox to five hits, while walking none. Toronto’s win overshadowed a two-HR performance by Chicago’s Carlton Fisk.
Blue Jays’ Shortstop Tony Fernandez went 2-for-3 to claim a share of the tournament batting title, at .358. In fact, Fernandez was the only Toronto regular to finish with a tournament batting average over .250. The Jays were led by a solid pitching staff (overall ERA of 2.94) and outstanding team defense (only three errors over 14 games).

I agree with Dev, participants in league play would welcome the ability to view games being played by others

It is working!

They should contact GO support as normally, corporate store GCs don’t work here (only GO GCs purchased from the GO store do, in a very easy and automated fashion).

EDIT:

So if someone has a GC from the old (not Squarespace) APBA corporate store, and they want to use it on GO, they can contact GO support and we’ll make it happen if there is a record of the GC with APBA.

If someone buys a GC from the new (Squarespace) APBA corporate store, they cannot use it on GO.

If someone buys a GC from the APBA GO store, it can be used on GO, but they’d have to contact GO support to use it on the APBA corporate (Squarespace) store.

Complicated but that’s the way it is.

Thanks,
Jeremy

pre-game options selection lock working again thanks for the fix !

Burleigh Grimes & Dolf Luque cards in GO have Q number. Grover Alexander and Dolf Luque cards don’t have HR letters. How does that affect the game

Art Wilson helps John McCraw’s Giants salvage one of three again the Pirates with a Home Run and a double.

Standings after the 1st week:

@APBA-GO-Jeremy awesome!

It is supposed to be a numeric representation that reflects the number of 31s appearing on a card. But it is broken. We are putting in a fix. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

ha Thanks J

@Tazmanean_Devil Great stuff. I remember being frustrated too… having a key starting pitcher enter the game as a reliever (espy if he thrown a complete game the day before). The day I figured out the purpose of that thumbs up/down icon was a bit of a game-changer…

@Denis That’s what I like to hear.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy thank you Jeremy
