Week 23 Summary

Week 23 is in the books and the end of the season is coming up quick. Boston (AL) clinched a week-and-a-half ago and St. Louis (NL) clinched this past Monday, so we are that point in the season where veterans are released or benched to allow the youngbloods to show their skills while both groups are hoping to be on an ML roster in 1950. Some teams have only three games remaining, some have six, and most are somewhere in between. There are only 35 total games left to be played, including ten games on the season-ending doubleheader Sunday. That means the days between now and then are pretty light.


Given that I am so close, I am going to skip the normal summary that I have done for the previous 22 weeks and instead I am going to just jump right into Week 24 and start finishing off the final week.

Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio

1949 Replay NL Recap

St. Louis (105-49, 96-58, +9) Similar to Boston in the AL, St. Louis got off to a fast start and held on from there. They went 5-0 in Week One, slipped behind Pittsburgh into second place in Week Three, but then led the NL from there through the end of the season. Along the way both New York and Boston made a push to catch them, but with the Cardinals playing a consistent .700 level of ball they could get close but couldn’t quite finish the job and St. Louis ended up winning the league by 11.0 games over Brooklyn. Enos Slaughter While Ralph Kiner would likely get the MVP award, one of the reasons would be that Stan Musial , Enos Slaughter , and Red Schoendienst all would split votes away from each other. At about the 2/3’s point of the season, Slaughter went 14-for-18 in a series against Chicago (including two 5-for-5 games) and his average shot up over .400. Instead of immediately leveling back down, there it stayed until there were about ten days left in the season and ...

1949 Replay World Series

The 1949 regular season is over and it is now time for the replay World Series. Boston (AL) and St. Louis (NL) both dominated their leagues this year and the expected struggle between these two baseball behemoth's is causing quite a buzz. The games will be televised, although it is not certain exactly how many people in either of these markets actually have televisions. It is expected that bars and department stores that have them will both draw a pretty good crowd though. Obviously, neither of these teams truly made the 1949 World series, so I am going to make some accommodations: Neither team had to fight down to the last day of the season to determine their fate and in fact, both teams clinched the respective pennants well ahead of the season's end. I am going to assume that both teams had ample opportunity to provide some rest and to get their pitching aligned the way they wanted. The 1949 World Series didn’t have any off days because both teams were located in...
