Week 24 Summary

Good news and bad news. First, the good news: The 1949 replay has completed as expected. There were no real surprises during the final week of the season and World Series play between Boston (AL) and St. Louis (NL) will commence in a few days.

Bad news: I lost about 2/3's of my files and notes (pages) from my OneNote 1949 Replay folder (section). I tried a few tricks to see if there was a way to restore them, but I am thinking they are lost.

Good News: The BBW 1949 season itself was backed up and safe and the BBW files themselves not affected. Hence, I will include the normal stat files below that I have been providing with the completion of every week.

Bad news: One of the lost files was the weekly results file for Week 24 where I captured notes from every game. It's gone, and while I suppose I could recreate it from the BBW files I do have, suffice it to say, the season is over and I am moving on to wrapping it up. Actually, the posted blog files were all originally drafts from the now missing OneNote files, so technically I really don’t think I am missing anything, but, well, poop, it makes me mad just the same.

Technical note: Yes, I know OneNote notebooks are stored in the cloud and are available across multiple devices. The tool is perfect for my workflow, but early that evening something blinked, a portion of the files from this Notebook Section(and only this Section) was just gone. Luckily, none of my other Notebooks appeared to have been affected. I don't think it is a case of too much data or too many pages or anything like that, and it is not a space issue on my cloud drive.

But like I said above, I am moving on and in the way of wrapping things up the next steps are to:
  • Finish this document and update the blog
  • In a separate blog post, I will produce a final team-by-team season recap
  • In a separate blog post, I will produce an extended final stats extravaganza
  • Then I will play the World Series and there will be a separate blog post for that
  • And finally, in a separate post, I will provide some sort of end of project review, what went right, what went wrong, and what is next


As for now, here is an initial set of final stats to mull over while I get busy.

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...
