Week 3 Summary (04/28/1941 - 05/04/1941)

Week Three of the 1941 BBW replay is in the books and the Yankees and the Dodgers are continuing to try and run away with their respective leagues. It's still early obviously, so teams in both leagues are continuing to hang around as best they can, and should the leaders blink at some point during the season, they want to be ready to jump into a lead of their own. 1941 New York Giants At the completion of Week One the Yankees were averaging 9.3 runs per game. They are now down to "only" 6.8 runs per game but are clearly leading the AL in this category. Perhaps more importantly, they have lowered their ERA from 4.71 in Week One to 3.17 at the end of Week Three. The star for the Yankees so far has been left fielder Charlie Keller . Keller leads the AL in hits (37), doubles (9), homeruns (10), runs (26), RBI's (32), and is second in average (.416). Batting in the fifth spot in the lineup, Keller has cleaned up on whoever has set the plate in front of him, with Joe DiMa...

Week 20 Summary (08/25/1941 - 08/31/1941)

Week Twenty of the 1941 BBW Replay is in the books and we have reached the end of August and are heading into September with four weeks remaining to be played. Four teams in the AL have reached or passed the 130 games played mark, but the remainder are close behind. The NL teams are still slightly behind their AL counterparts, but that will be made up over these few remaining weeks. In the AL, New York has been without Joe DiMaggio for the last ten days or so, but he is scheduled to return to play later this coming week. Regardless, they have maintained their healthy lead over the rest of the division. Their magic number is down to ten, with only twenty-two games left to play. Boston has secured the second spot in the AL standings, although that may have more to do with Chicago and Cleveland's current struggles. Cleveland actually spent a few days in fifth place this last week behind St. Louis, but as this week ended, they are 0.5 games ahead of the Browns. Washington is right at...

1941 BBW Replay World Series - New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals

Image
Both teams had won their league pennant in good time, but the last month of the season was rough on both teams. Yankees center fielder Joe DiMaggio missed two weeks at the beginning of the month but has played regularly since. Left fielder Charlie Keller missed most of the last two weeks of the month, only having returned for the final few games of the season. Third baseman Red Rolfe experienced colitis and missed much of the month of September as well but was able to return to the lineup before the season's end. All three have been deemed healthy and will be in the regular lineup for New York.  St. Louis had a major injury to deal with in that first baseman Johnny Mize tore ligaments in his arm late in the season and would miss the World Series. Johnny Hopp had moved in from the outfield to cover first base in his absence and rookie sensation Stan Musial will take Mize's place on the roster and will be stationed in left field. Center fielder Terry Moore had missed a c...
