Week 1 Summary

While the week one games constitute a small sample size, it would be accurate to say things got off with a bang. There were five instances where players hit two homeruns in a game, four occurrences of players hitting back-to-back homeruns, two different players had six RBI games and another had a seven-RBI game. Both leagues are exceeding their expected batting average by 30 points, and both ERA's are up over 3/4 of a run. The Yankees are hitting .373 as a team but were the last team to hit a homerun (in their sixth game of the season). While I do expect this will level out as the season progresses, the offense has been the name of the game so far. Birdie Tebbetts Thanks to two extra-inning victories Cleveland leads the AL by percentage points over Chicago and Philadelphia, and the two favorites, New York and Boston, are right on their heels. Detroit has the worst ERA by far, but still came away with two wins for the week and sits in sixth place. St. Louis and Washington a

Play Has Begun!

Due to the long holiday weekend and me having the on-call duties from work (i.e., meaning I was effectively under house arrest for the duration) I was able to apply all of my finishing touches, got the ATMgr transaction and lineup files loaded and working, and was able to actually begin the replay earlier this evening. I will be posting weekly recaps like I did during my 1930 replay (link). I do not have some sort of hard-coded schedule though, I will just be working my way through the replay a week at a time, and we will see where it goes. Connie Mack The final decision to be made was that I ended up deciding to not re-grade my pitcher's but instead to stick with the APBA as given pitching grades. It was my observation that the game company broke away from their standard formula for grade assignment with this re-issue set, so let's give it a shot.

1949 Replay AL Recap

Boston (107-47, 96-58 , +11) This was the season for the Boston Red Sox. By the end of Week Two they had established themselves as the front runners and by the end of Week Eight they had a 9.5 game lead. Both Cleveland and New York made runs at first place later in the season but the Red Sox never folded. Of course, Boston did have the occasional bad week but they ended up the season with a .695 winning percentage, and while Cleveland and New York could muster a few weeks of performance at that level they just couldn't maintain the .700 winning percentage necessary to catch the Red Sox. Ted Williams One of the joys in doing a replay is that you get to see the all the stars at work and Ted Williams was the star of the 1949 season. Even the crustiest of sportswriters would be hard pressed to find a reason to give the MVP to someone else. Williams led the league in Batting Average (.377), Hits (212), Runs (165), RBI's (178), Homeruns (56), Walks (260), Total Bases (4
