Roger's 1941 APBA Replay

1941 Detroit Tigers Week Thirteen of the 1941 BBW replay is in the books and after a few days off for the 1941 All-Star Game in Detroit play then resumed on Thursday, so this week was essentially a short week. We did have another "Doubleheader Sunday" so even though teams are slightly behind in games played, there has been no hesitation in getting the games in. Both leagues have two teams that have played 80 or more games while Pittsburgh brings up the low end with only 72 games played. The Pirates play eight games this coming week thanks to three doubleheaders on the schedule, so all teams will be at or past the 80 games played mark by the end of this coming week. In the AL, New York ended the week with a doubleheader sweep in Chicago, pushing the White Sox 12.0 games behind the league leaders. Third place Cleveland could not take advantage of the White Sox's misfortune because they were in the process of losing both ends of a home doubleheader to Boston. The Indians re...

Week Twelve of the 1941 BBW replay is in the books and the season has reached the halfway point of the season, at last schedule-wise. Only Cleveland has reached the 77 games played mark, the halfway point for games played, but the remaining teams are not far behind, and making up for these otherwise missing games will be resolved easily in the second half of the season. Pittsburgh has only 68 games played, the only team in either league that hasn't reached the 70 games played mark.  New York has dominated the AL throughout the first half of the season and continued to do so this past week. They got swept in a three-game series at home versus Washington last week, but then they got right back on their horse and have won seven of the next ten and maintained a 9.0 games lead over second-place Chicago. The Yankees are second in the AL in hitting behind Boston but lead in homeruns and runs scored, and they are second in ERA behind the White Sox, while neither Boston nor Chicago can ma...
