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)

SPECIAL REPORT: Team stats for the 1969 AL Detroit Tigers

August 6, 1969

The Detroit Tigers are in 2nd place in the AL East, 2 games behind the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers are getting nice offensive seasons from Jim Northrup, Willie Horton and Norm Cash. Tommy Matchick has been a pleasant surprise at the plate. He's filled in well at 2nd base since Dick McAuliffe went down with a season ending knee injury in July. Matchick has fielded the postion well, as expected, and has hit much better than most thought he would. The Tigers are getting excellent seasons from starters Mickey Lolich and Denny McLain while Don McMahon has been virtually untouchable coming out of the bullpen. The Tigers hope to continue to keep the Orioles in their crosshairs, waiting for them to falter.
