1969 SOM AsPlayed Replay and more

This blog started in 2011 with my attempt to manage the 1969 Detroit Tigers to an AL Championship. Just finished my 1987 asplayed replay (using SOM Baseball 2013 with the cards). As always I managed the Detroit Tigers and succeeded in winning the World Series. 1987 was put on hold while I 'played along' with the 2013 MLB season, so it took over a year to complete. In the 'Favorite sites/links' section are blogs for other seasons I've done: 1911, 1934, 1950, 1971 and more. (View blog fullscreen)

1969 AL Standings as of September 1st

Sept. 1, 1969

The historic 1969 MLB season is headed into the home stretch. September has arrived and baseball's 1st season that will produce 2 division winners in each league is getting closer to the finish. The Minnesota Twins are running away with the AL West and are the only team playing above .500 in the division.
My Detroit Tigers had a good month of August (19-11) but actually fell further behind the AL East division leading Baltimore Orioles. Detroit is 4.5 games back. Baltimore went 20-11 in August and their 84-50 record is the best in MLB this season. The Washington Senators continue to surprise eveyone in the league with their good play.
The Orioles are 7 games off their actual '69 record and the Tigers are 1 game better than their actual record. That fact has given me some hope in catching Baltimore but it's been a bit discouraging lately. Detroit can't seem to gain any ground. Have to regroup for the final push, only 31 games left.

1969 AL News Recap and League Leaders as of September 1st

There's a few surprise names among AL league leaders as the calendar turns to September. The Washington Senators under new manager Ted Williams are providing a couple of them. Eddie Brinkman has been in the top 10 Batting Average leaders all season long and currently sits 3rd with a .319 average. Mike Epstein went on a tear in August and now leads the AL in hitting at .325. Epstein also has 35 homeruns, 4th in the league. Frank Howard is having a triple crown type season: 1st in HR with 49, tied for 1st with 110 RBI and 5th in BA at .313. Williams is obviously having a big impact on the Senators hitting this year.
Other players in the AL having very productive seasons are Harmon Killebrew (Min), Reggie Jackson (Oak), Carl Yasstrzemski (Bsn), and Tony Oliva (Min).
On the pitching front, Sam McDowell (Clev) and Mike Cuellar (Bal) are on the verge of becoming the AL's first 20 game winner. Denny McLain (Det) is following up on his epic 1968 season with another fine year. Blue Moon Odom (Oak) started the season 10-0, has since cooled off a little, but still has put up 15 wins to go along with a league best 1.83 ERA.

1969 AL Det. at Oak. August 17th

The Detroit Tigers are in the midst of a 9 game West Coast trip and lost to the Oakland Athletics 3-2 today. With the victory, Oakland completes a 3 game sweep of Detroit and the Tigers drop to 5 games behind the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East.
Jim Hunter (13-7) picked up the win for Oakland while Denny McLain (16-7) got the loss for Detroit. The Athletics scored 3 runs in the 1st inning off McLain and that was all they needed. A 2 run homer by Bill Freehan in the 5th was the only damage Detroit could muster against Hunter, who got the complete game victory.
Detroit will now travel to Seattle for 3 games against the Pilots then on to Anaheim for 3 games against the California Angels before heading back home.
