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)

1987 NL Standings

September 3, 1987

The NL 1987 MLB season has moved into the month of September and the St. Louis Cardinals continue to be the dominate team in the league. They now have a 12 game lead in the NL East.
The NL West is a different story. The Cincinnati Reds have a slim .5 game lead over 2nd place Houston and the San Francisco Giants are only 4 games back. Should be an exciting finish in the West.

AL Game Sept. 2 Cal. at Tor.

Toronto Blue Jay George Bell hit 3 hr's and drove in 4 runs propelling his team to an 11-2 victory over the California Angels. Bell now has 57 HR this season and with a month to go, looks like a lock to surpass the magic #60. The win also pulled the Blue jays within 5 games of division leading Detroit.

Left fielder George Bell smacked 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the very strong
Toronto Blue Jays beat the California Angels by a score of 11 to 2.
 
Bell had a great day at the plate.  He had the crowd cheering his every move.
He clubbed a solo home run in the 2nd inning, lofted a solo-blast 'downtown'
in the 4th inning and hit a bases-empty home run in the 8th inning.  Toronto
banged out 11 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Dave Stieb(16-7) went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the win. Jerry
Reuss(2-8) was tagged with the loss.  He surrendered 6 runs and 5 hits in 1
inning.  
 
Toronto now has a record of 81-52.  With this loss, California has a 4-6
record of late, 64-70 overall.

!987 AL Standings

September 2, 1987

The 1987 MLB season has moved into September and my Detroit Tigers now have a 6 game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers went 25-5 in August to get them a little cushion in the AL East.
In the AL West, the Oakland A's are in 1st place for the first time this season. They'd been staying close to the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners all season while those 2 teams battled for the top spot.
In a side note, Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens became the 1st 20 game winner in MLB this season, winning a 4-2 decision over Cleveland in his last start.
