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 Detroit Wins World Series!
October 25, 1987
The Detroit Tigers are the 1987 World Champions. The Tigers defeated the Cincinnati Reds in Game 7 of the World Series by the score of 3-2. Detroit scored 2 unearned runs in the 1st inning when Alan Trammell reached based on an error by Reds 3rd baseman Buddy Bell with 2 out. Matt Nokes, up next, then launched a 2 run blast into the centerfield bleachers. The Tigers added a run in the 3rd and that was all the scoring they'd need. Bell hit a homerun in the 9th for the Reds but Detroit reliever Mike Henneman was able to get the final 2 outs, preserving the win for Walt Terrell and give the Tigers the 1987 Championship.
