MLB is running their sim season, and so am I...
I am running the 1927 Yankees vs todays league. I'll post some of the games here so as to have something else to talk about...
Sat. Nov 24th, Anaheim California.
Behind the strong pitching of Waite Hoyt (18-1) the New York Yankees crushed the Anaheim Angels by a score of 10-0. The Angels were hanging tough until the Yankees bats woke up fueled by Lou Gehrigs 2 mammoth HR's !!. His first, a 472 ft blast, sailed deep into the left centerfield stands. Waite Hoyt pitched a brilliant 4 hit shutout striking out 2 and walking none. Gehrig also hit a 459 ft HR in the seventh inning. Tony Lazzeri, the Yanks 2nd bagger added two HR's of his own with right Fielder Babe Ruth and 3rd bagger Joe Dugan each adding one. Left fielder Bob Meusel came close to an inside the park home run but was chased back to 3rd base on a strong throw from the Angel center fielder...
The Angels mounted a threat early in the game when, in the second inning left Fielder Darin Erstad led off with a triple. But Hoyt then fanned the next batter, got Scott Spiezio to pop up weakly to Combs in shallow center, and got the inning ending ground out to Koenig at short...
Here is my starting 9 and pitching staff...
