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)

with Alexander and the Detroit Tigers coming out on top of the Toronto Blue
Jays 2 to 1.
 
Alexander delivered a fine performance for Detroit.  He went 7 and 2/3 innings
and surrended up 6 hits and 2 walks.  Toronto had a chance to come back in
the 9th but they came up short.  
 
Alexander got relief help from Mike Henneman who gained credit for his 12th
save.

With the win, the Tigers take 3 of 4 games in the series against the Blue Jays and their Magic # is now down to 1. The Tigers head home for 7 games to finish the season. Detroit's next win would be their 100th and clinch the division title.

1987 AL Game: Toronto at NY. Bell hits 62nd

September 22, 1987

TORONTO AT BALTIMORE
Blue Jays....... 2 0 0 0 1 1 2 5 0 - 11 10 1
Orioles......... 1 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 1 - 6 14 1
Win:Stieb(17-8) Loss:Boddicker(11-15)
Homeruns- F.McGriff(25th), G.Bell(62nd), W.Upshaw-2(25th), M.Hart(6th)

George Bell became MLB's all-time single season homerun record holder tonight when he hit his 62nd homerun of the year. Bell's homer allowed him to pass Roger Maris and with almost 2 weeks left in the season, he's a good bet to add to that total. Bell's teammate Willie Upshaw ripped 2 homeruns at Memorial Stadium as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the floundering Baltimore Orioles 11 to 6.
Upshaw had a big evening at the plate. He hit a bases-empty home run in the
5th inning and blasted a Grand Slam homerun in the 8th inning. Baltimore had
14 hits in the game while Toronto had 10, but Toronto had the more timely
hits.
Dave Stieb(17-8) picked up the victory, allowing 5 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings.
Mike Boddicker(11-15) was the loser. He served up 4 gopher balls in 7 and
2/3 innings.

topped the New York Yankees by a score of 6 to 2 at Yankee
Stadium. George Bell hit his 61st homerun for Toronto, tying him with Roger Maris for the all time single season homerun record

Key(22-7) gave Toronto a solid outing. He went 9 innings allowing 9 hits and
1 walk. Toronto finished with 7 hits in the victory.

Al Leiter(1-1) was the losing pitcher. He pitched 6 and 1/3 innings allowing
5 hits and 1 walk. The Toronto ballclub's record now stands at 90-59 and moves them within 3.5 games of Detroit in the AL East.

AL Game: NY at Tor 9-12-87

September 12,1987

Toronto's George Bell connected for HR #60 tonight in a 13-9 victory over the New York Yankees. Bell is now 1hr away from the MLB record of 61 hit by Roger Maris in 1961. The win also pulled Toronto within 4 games of 1st place Detroit in the AL East.

NEW YORK AT TORONTO
Yankees......... 7 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 9 13 0
Blue Jays....... 3 5 3 1 1 0 0 0 - 13 16 1
Win:Nunez(6-3) Loss:Bordi(4-3) Save:Wells(1st) Homeruns- N.Liriano(1st), G.Bell(60th)

Designated hitter George Bell homered and had 4 RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays bested the New York Yankees 13 to 9 at Exhibition Stadium. Bell had a good day at the plate. He lofted a three-run bomb in the 1st inning, slapped a one-base hit plating a run in the 2nd inning and banged out a single in the 3rd inning. Toronto out-hit New York for the game, 16 hits to 13. The win went to Jose Nunez(6-3) who allowed 1 run in 3 and 2/3 innings. Nunez was helped out by David Wells who recorded his 1st save. Rich Bordi(4-3) took the loss in relief. He was hit hard and gave up 10 hits and 6 walks in 6 innings.

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.

Dave Stewart struck out 10 batters and third baseman Carney Lansford had 2
base hits and 2 RBI as the Oakland A's defeated the New York Yankees in 11
innings 3 to 2 at Oakland Co Stadium.
 
The score was knotted at 2 after nine innings.  Oakland came out on top in the
11th inning.  Reggie Jackson drew a walk.  Mickey Tettleton stepped up next
and he laid down a sacrifice bunt.  One out later, Tony Bernazard came to bat
and singled giving Oakland the victory and sending the 48,276 home-town fans
home happy.  Oakland managed 10 hits in their victory.  
 
Stewart(15-9) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Tim
Stoddard(7-10) was hit with the loss in relief.  When asked about his
strikeout total for the game, Stewart offered, 'The fan's really got into it.
It is fun to see them tally up the strikeout totals up there in the stands.
Fortunately, I kept them busy this afternoon - of course, it would be all for
naught without the 'W'.'

Alvin Davis ripped 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Seattle Mariners defeated
the Minnesota Twins 8 to 6 at The Kingdome.
 
Davis was a one-man wrecking crew.  He cracked a two-run shot in the 1st
inning, cracked a two-run shot in the 3rd inning and cleared the fences for a
two-run home run in the 5th inning.  It was roller coaster of a game as the
lead change hands 6 times.  
 
Lee Guetterman(7-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 innings and
allowing 6 runs. Ed Nunez earned his 6th save.  Mike Smithson(4-2) was
charged with the loss.  He surrended 3 homeruns in his 7 innings.  
 
'I was really seeing the ball today,' Davis said 'I wish it was always this
easy.'

Catcher Matt Nokes had 4 hits and 2 RBI at Exhibition Stadium where the
Detroit Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays in 10 innings 10 to 9.
 
The score was knotted at 8 after nine innings.  Detroit won the hard fought
contest in the 10th inning.  Nokes led off and started the attack as he lined
a single.  Tom Henke then threw a pitch that got away from the catcher.
After an out was recorded, Chet Lemon stepped up to the plate and he cleared
the fences for a two-run home run.  Kirk Gibson dug into the batters box
next, but he struck out.  Tom Brookens got his turn next, but he was a
strikeout victim.  Detroit had a total of 13 hits for the game.  
 
The winning pitcher was Eric King(3-1) who allowed 1 run in 1 and 1/3 innings.
King was helped out by Guillermo Hernandez who recorded his 3rd save.
Henke(1-3) took the loss in relief.

Frank Viola(5-5) thrilled the fans at County Stadium as he crafted a no-hit
masterpiece against the Milwaukee Brewers.  The Minnesota Twins won by a
final score of 1 to 0.
 
Viola had his best stuff and was 'painting the black' with every pitch.  A
beautiful game to watch.  He walked 4 Milwaukee batters.  The Minnesota
players and coaches started to leave Viola alone with his thoughts after the
game reached the 7th inning.  By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you
could hear a pin drop every time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion
after every out.  Minnesota finished with just 4 hits in the victory.  
 
The losing pitcher was Chuck Crim(6-4).  He allowed just 4 hits and no walks
in 8 and 2/3 innings.  'You probably have a better chance of winning the
lottery than this happening,' said Viola, 'I don't expect it to sink in for
awhile,' he said. 'I'm numb right now, I'm overwhelmed.'

Jim Clancy carried a no-hitter into the 8th inning and George Bell rocketed 3
homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Toronto Blue Jays ballclub embarrassed the
Minnesota Twins by the count of 14 to 0.
 
Bell was in a groove all evening. The Minnesota fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box.  He smashed a two-run homer in the 1st inning,
clubbed a three-run home run in the 5th inning and smashed a bases-empty
'big-fly' in the 9th inning.  Toronto simply wore out the Minnesota pitching
staff, scoring in 6 different innings.  
 
Clancy(5-1) went the distance for the shutout.  The right-handed Clancy lost
his no-hit bid when Roy Smalley singled with one out in the 8th inning.  Mark
Portugal(1-3) took the loss.  He surrended 4 homeruns in his 2 and 1/3
innings.  
 
'They made a couple of mistakes and I took full advantage,' Bell said 'next
time I'm sure they'll pitch me tougher.'
