April 23, 1941 (Replay Baseball)

-          The first Red Sox-Yankees clash of the season did not disappoint.  There were some incredible individual performances – Red Sox third baseman Jim Tabor hit two home runs and drove in four runs; Yankees first baseman Joe Gordon went 4-6 and drove in four runs himself.  Ultimately, however, it was Yankees’ catcher Bill Dickey who supplied the heroics, blasting a walkoff, three-run home run in the bottom of the 12th inning for a 9-6 Yankees win.

-          Dodgers starter Whit Wyatt pitched his second shutout of the season, going the distance and allowing only four hits.  The Dodgers beat the Phillies 4-0 and Wyatt moved to 3-0 on the young season.

-          There was a classic at Wrigley Field today.  The Cubs lead 4-3 going into the top of the 9th, but the Reds managed to squeeze a run across to send the game to extra innings.  In the top of the 12th, Reds centerfielder Harry Craft hit a leadoff, solo home run that got the Reds a 5-4 win.

  Welcome to the Baseball Classic Replays, where anyone can follow along while I navigate the completely unfamiliar world of card and dice baseball simulations.  While I did dabble with OOTP during COVID, I am essentially new to all of this, trying to discover a number of different games at the same time and figure out which ones I like best.  It seems like there are a plethora of outstanding sims out there, so at times there are almost too many choices for the uninitiated to wade through.  Fortunately, there are a number of outstanding YouTube channels dedicated to this hobby that can be quite helpful in making these decisions, some of which I hope to eventually highlight here.   As some general background about myself, I am a lover of history and baseball and thus, unsurprisingly, enjoy delving into baseball history.  This is the aspect that appeals to me most about baseball sims - recreating some of the greatest individuals seasons, pennant races, e...

  As you can see on the scoreboards, it was full slate of games today and there were some magnificent performances, particularly on the mound.  The Cubs-Pirates affair could make a strong case for Game of the Day, with the Pirates snagging a run in the bottom of the 8th on a Deb Garms RBI single to seal a one-run victory.  But as you will see below, we are going with a pitcher's duel in Boston for today's honors. Game of the Day: Washington Nationals vs. Boston Red Sox 4-24-1940 (Day Game): 1940-Nationals (2-3) vs. 1940-Red Sox (3-3) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E 1940-Nationals 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1940-Red Sox 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 x 2 7 0 Lefty Grove (BSA) The Red Sox' Lefty Grove outdueled Nationals starter Joe Haynes to get the Red Sox back to .500 on the young season.  Sox third baseman Jim Tabor hit a home run in the bottom of the second to take a 1-0 lead and Grove kept a shutout going into the...
