The 1953 Yankees defeated the 1961 Yankees four games to two in their six game series. The '53 Yankees improved their record to 36-24 while the '61 Yankees dropped to 59-67 with five series left to play.

The '61 Yankees won the first game 11-3; Whitey Ford got the win on the mound and delivered three RBI at the plate. The '53 Yankees won the next three games in the series. In Game Three, they overcame a 3-1 deficit when Gene Woodling hit a three-run homer in the third for a 4-3 win. Ed Lopat pitched a two-hit shutout in Game Four for a 2-0 win. The '61 Yankees won a thrilling Game Five 8-6 in 10 innings; it was a game that featured five lead changes and multiple two-run dingers. Roger Maris hit a two-run blast in the 3rd inning to give them a 2-1 lead. Yogi Berra countered with a two-run tater of his own in the 5th to retake the lead for the '53 Yankees 3-2. The '61 Yankees have a Berra too, and he hit a two-run homer as part of a three-run 6th inning to give the '61 Yankees the lead back at 5-3. The '53 Yankees came back with three runs in the 8th inning, two by a pinch hit two-run blast by Don Bollweg to retake the lead again 6-5. That lead didn’t last long as Maris hit a sac fly in the bottom of the inning to tie the game 6-6. The '61 Yankees walked it off in the bottom of the 10th with another Berra blast, yes another two-run homer, for the 8-6 win. There was no drama in the final game as the '53 Yankees won 9-0 on a Jim McDonald five-hit shutout.

Woodling is hitting .332 with a .957 OPS. Mickey Mantle is hitting .323 with 16 homeruns, 52 RBI, 52 runs scored, and a .980 OPS. Hank Bauer is hitting .308 with 12 homeruns, 52 runs scored, and a .918 OPS. Berra has 11 homeruns and 51 RBI while hitting just .231. Lopat’s shutout improved his record to 7-1 with a 3.31 ERA. McDonald’s shutout improved his record to 6-3 with a 4.44 ERA.

Elston Howard leads the '61 Yankees in hitting at .332 with 32 homeruns, 87 RBI, 89 runs scored and a .941 OPS. Mickey Mantle is hitting .326 with 48 homeruns, 100 RBI, 115 runs scored, 105 walks, and a 1.140 OPS. Moose Skowron is hitting .245 with 24 homeruns and 84 RBI. Roger Maris is hitting .241 with 53 homeruns, 116 RBI, 95 runs scored, and a .967 OPS. Whitey Ford is 13-7 with a 3.81 ERA. Closer Luis Arroyo has 30 saves to go with a 4-5 record and a 3.08 ERA. The '61 Yankees will take on the 26-16 2009 Yankees in the next series.

Tough Series for the Senators… they score just one run in a sweep by Connie Mack’s Athletics. That 1 may have been enough for Walter Johnson, but the defense let him down with 5 errors that lead to the 2-1 loss against A’s ace Jack Coombs.

Thanks. I messed up and should have done monthly figuring as games were being played. Oh well.
Just your opinion: i was thinking of 6 team round robin of the best teams from 1950 to present. Thinking: 98 Yanks, 75 Reds, 95 Braves, 72 A’s, 70 O’s, and ??? Some recent Dodger team? 84 Tigers? A Redsox or Cardinal or Pirate team? Whaddya think?

@Docwho Hi!

We have nothing to do with the cards or the APBA store.

I would expect early in January but that’s me guessing.

Thanks,
Jeremy

If I am looking for an A pitcher, I have to search for Basic Game. Once I have that and want to narrow it down say to 18, if I reset to Master Game, I have to start the search all over because everything clears. It would be better for the Master Game to show the letter grade, unless there is somewhere where I can find the relationship between letter grade and range of master grade numbers. I didn’t see it in angel fire.

The platoon rating against RHP is quite clear. The platoon rating against LHP is not clear on the card when looking at it during a player search. It can be either a negative or a dash. To be certain, I have to draft the player and start the game which is time consuming especially if I am looking a the same player from 2 years. It would be better to get rid of the dash on the player card when dealing with platoons against the LHP
.

in step play MG it would help a lot if the pitcher grade changed with the next batter. Right now the pitcher grade changes to the next batter before the “step” kicks in and moves to the next hitter

@rmjwell-0 HI!

Collections appear to be functioning correctly, so the issue must be specific to your account.

Please contact Support so they can help you out.

Thanks,

@Iggy702003-yahoo-com HI!

The cheapest and easiest way to get access to the card data using Custom Teams is to purchase a 30 day subscription to APBA GO and cancel it immediately. That will cost $25 and get you access to the 2025 season, and Custom Teams which allow you to create custom teams based on real teams and easily view cards (as easily as APBA GO will allow).

The other way to do it is to purchase 2025 ($25), the League Tools Unlock ($25, for Custom Teams, one-time purchase) and then you will be able to do the same as above.

As it stands, by purchasing the 2025 season, the only way you get to see the cards etc. is to start a game using the team you’re interested in and review the cards as you play.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Same to you Jeremy and the MG release was the best Xmas present

I just wanted to add that the updates that have been done have made fantastic progress in getting this right… it was pretty off at first, but its getting very close. Thanks to everyone who has joined me in reporting the errors so that the programmers can fix it!

yea your probably right with OBA

I’ve done it before and I’m always open to doing it again.

In our sharing of roles, John speaks for the future of the company and GO, so usually he’s the better choice to have on.

Most of the questions that people who are actively interested in GO ask are answered through this forum and the Support team.

Yes you must have the season on go in order to use your cards. Go would be the stat compiler etc.

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,

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