The Yankees scored 6 in the bottom of the 8th to blow open what had before then been a relatively close Game 4. The final score was 11-4, with Herb Pennock getting the win after 7 workmanlike innings. Faber got the save, with Coveleski absorbing the loss. Pie Traynor had a triple and a home run.

The Yankees' bats awakened at home in Game 3 of the Alt-1924 World Series. Goose Goslin led the way with 4 RBI from a home run and a double, while Harry Heilmann pitched in with 3 hits. Vance wasn't dominant but bore down when it mattered, while Toney could not contain Murderer's Row.

The Cardinals came back to win a see-saw Game 2 of the Alt-1924 World Series by a 9-5 score, as Freddie Fitzsimmons could not hold down St. Louis. Sam Rice and Joe Harris both had 4 wins for the victors, Waite Hoyt gutted it out for 7 1/3 innings before Dauss got a 5-out save.

Game 1 of the Alt-1924 World Series found Juan Padron of the host St. Louis Cardinals locked in a pitchers' duel with the New York Yankees' Herb Pennock. The Yanks scratched out a earned run in the 2nd and an unearned run in the 4th, while Pennock shut down the Cards. New York leads the series 1-0.

It’s been a busy month IRL, and also in Alt-1924 where it’s now October 7th. First, a look at the minor leagues, where both the Western League and the Eastern League ended with the top teams a percentage point apart due to differing numbers of wins/losses/ties. Grand Rapids and Fall River advanced.

It's September 1st, 1924 in my @ootpbaseball.bsky.social simulation. Let's take a look at how the minors are doing. There are 7 affilliated minor leagues, four of which have MLB farm teams. The PCL, International League, and American Association races are over, the others still up in the air.

It is the end of play on 20 August 1924. Teams have played 118-121 games, so we're 3/4 of the way through the season. There's been no real change in the standings, as the Yankees and Cardinals continue to barrel their way toward a World Series meeting. The Yankees have gone 18-4, the Cards 13-7.

The AL scored a 9-8 victory in a wild, see-saw Alt-1924 All-Star Game, held in Buffalo's New Olympic Park. In the end, Eddie Collins came through with a bases-loaded, 9th inning single off of Bob Pepper and Herb Pennock struck out the side for the save. Red Faber got the win after a clean 8th.

It's 13 June 1924 in the semi-historical simulation I'm playing in Out of the Park Baseball. Roughly three game weeks have passed since the last update, which have included the First-Year Player Draft. The AL and NL WAR leaders are pictured below. Let's give you diehards the Alt-1924 update! 1/

Alt-1923 World Series, Game 1: In a wild, 10-inning slugfest, the Giants shocked the Yankees by scoring 5 in the 9th and 2 in the 10th to win 12-11. High Pockets Kelly went 5-5 and Torriente hit a HR for the Giants. Both starters were ineffective, and neither relief corps was much better.

It's 1 October 1923 for us, and the World Series is around the corner. The Yankees, winners of their fourth consecutive AL pennant with a record-smashing 121 wins, look to defend their crown. Their cross-town rivals and former landlords look to win their first World Series since 1905. 1/2

It's time for the Alt-1923 All-Star Game! Babe Ruth has been out most of the year due to injury, but his Red Sox teammate Tris Speaker was the lead votegetter for the AL. His eventual OTL teammate, Buffalo's Lou Gehrig, led all players.
Cards for the starting 9 for each team are attached!

We are at the quarter-pole for the majors in Alt-1923, with most teams having played about 40 games. The minor leagues have also played about 40 games, but that's more like 28% of their games. So, here's a thread with the current situation in the simulation as of 16 May 1923.

Now, the National League report. The Boston Rustlers are 7-3, just ahead of the 6-3 Cubs and 5-4 Phillies. Ken Williams of the New York Giants leads many offensive categories, with Ted "Ballplayer" Yuna leading the others.
Journeyman Jesse Barnes, now on the Cubs, leads pitchers in early going.

The algorithm thinks it'll be the Yankees and Giants in the World Series, just like in real life. Here, however, the Yankees, led by Oscar Charleston & Ty Cobb, will be going for their 4th straight pennant.
