-          Brooklyn Dodgers catcher Babe Phelps, in his first start of the season, blasted two home runs in Boston in the first game of a doubleheader.  The Dodgers needed every run to secure a 6-5 win and hand the Boston Braves their first loss of the season.

Hit Streaks - Thru June 9, 1929

  Dale Alexander (DET) So, it is definitely my fault that I have not been posting updates with respect to hitting streaks - particularly because there have been some impressive  streaks thus far this season.  The tab for hit streaks is separate from other batting stats in Skeetersoft - it isn't hidden by any means, but I don't check it as often as I do the usual hitting stats that I incorporate into the Week in Review posts.  So, without further adieu, here are the 20 best hitting streaks so far this season: That is quite an impressive run from Dale Alexander at 27 straight games - as are those from other star players like Rogers Hornsby (23) and Al Simmons (22). The longest active streak belongs to the Brooklyn Robins' Harvey Hendrick, who has hit successfully in his last 14 games.

New Project: 1930 NPIII/Skeetersoft Full Season Replay

  Yes, I've started a few replays in the short time I've been into baseball sims, only to get sidetracked by a different season/game and hope to something else.  I've loved Skeetersoft since I started playing the 1929 season last year, but then hopped around to try a few other games and had been playing a lot of PC Replay Baseball, which I also think is fantastic.  But...something recently gave me the itch to try another season of NPIII and after starting an interesting book called "Breaking the Slump" by Charles Alexander about baseball during the Depression, I figured why not start right at the beginning of the 1930s.  I purchased the 1930 season and have been off and running.  As I said, there are other sims I really like - particularly Replay PC - but, I've yet to play anything that feels as smooth, and is this simple with still feeling like baseball like NPIII/Skeetersoft.  So, I'm going to barrel forward with this replay. With past projects, I got bo...

Stellar Performances: Chicago White Sox vs. Cleveland Indians (April 22, 1930)

Wes Ferrell (Indians) It was a true pitcher's duel today in Cleveland, as both starters took shutouts into the 9th inning.  Indians starter Wes Ferrell pitched nine full innings, allowing only four hits and striking out five.  It also was his turn at-bat to lead off the bottom of the 9th inning, but he was pinch hit for by Bibb Falk - who proceeded to blast a pinch-hit walk-off homerun to seal a 1-0 victory for the Indians.  With the win, Cleveland moves to 3-3 on the year, while the White Sox fall to 2-2.
