Tiger Fan's All-Sports Replay: The 1920's

[Tiger Fan]

JUNE 2, 1920
RUTH TRADED TO YANKS
Babe Ruth is now a member of the New York Yankees after the Boston Red Sox dealt the disgruntled slugger to the Bronx in exchange for two players and a boatload of cash. Heading to Boston are a pair of Yankee starters in outfielder Curt Walker and first baseman Al Scheer along with $130,000 cash.

Ruth, who leads the American League in all three triple crown categories, demanded a trade following a dugout brawl with teammates Harry Hooper and Tris Speaker. Ruth (.423,20,57) is on pace to shatter his own single-season homerun record of 42 set last season when he led the Red Sox to a World Series championship.

The 32 year old Scheer (.276,1,19) will have the unenviable job of replacing Ruth at first base for the Red Sox. An 8 year veteran who also played for Brooklyn, Scheer has a career batting average of .263 and won 3 gold gloves while patrolling the outfield with the Dodgers.

Walker (.318,3,37) is just 24 years old and will likely be the Red Sox fourth outfielder after starting all of last season in the New York outfield. He hit .253 in 116 games last year and has a career .266 batting average in 185 major league games.

The Yankees are tied for fifth in the American League, 6 games below .500 after finishing dead last a year ago. There is no question New York will be much improved with Ruth in the lineup. The big question is will the Red Sox still be the dominant team in the American League without Ruth's bat. Losing Babe Ruth will take a huge bite out of any lineup but the Red Sox are the one team that may be talented enough to still win a pennant even without their best hitter.

xMCDERMOTT WINS PHILADELPHIA OPEN
31 year old Johnny xMcDermott won his first event on the PGA Tour as he took top spot in the Philadelphia Open. xMCDermott finished 4 strokes ahead of Jim xBarnes to win the event. Paul Sims, the 29 year old American who put on an amazing performance at Shawnee two weeks ago, had another strong week as he finished third.

New York is a city that's going to eat Babe Ruth alive, mark my words.

Lol. It will be interesting to see what happens to Boston. They still have plenty of talent and remain the favourites at least this year. The Yanks have absolutely zero pitching.

I had been toying with the idea of dealing Ruth to the Yankees each of the past two off-seasons but just couldn't pull the trigger. It just seemed that since I was assigning players to their original teams that he should be in pinstripes.

I noticed morale was down for several Boston players including Harry Hooper and then when I read in the league news that Ruth injured his hand in fight I decided it would be an in-team brawl and that should be the time to move him.

That was the first and only time I have stepped in and altered the game development. I am back to being a hands off commissioner watching this universe unfold. We will have to see what happens to the Yanks and Red Sox over the rest of the decade.

JUNE 4, 1921
RUTH HITS HOMER #21 BUT YANKS LOSE IN HIS DEBUT
Babe Ruth hit his 21st homerun of the season but it wasn't enough to help the Yankees win in his pinstripe debut. New York was hammered 12-2 by the visiting St Louis Browns but most Yankee fans did not seem to care. They were more interested in discussing the towering homerun hit by the newest Yankee. Ruth also singled in the game and drove in both New York runs.

Ruth was traded by Boston to the Yankees following a dugout brawl with teammates last week. Boston finally got a victory after dropping 3 straight games since Ruth left the team. The Red Sox pounded Cleveland 11-4.

Ruth will play in Boston for the first time as a member of the visiting team in two weeks when the Yankees head to Fenway for a 4 game series.


JUNE 5, 1921
YOUNGSTOWN FORCES 7TH GAME IN PBA CHAMPIONSHIP
Homecourt was an advantage this time for the Youngstown Bears as the Eastern Conference champions scored a 112-90 victory over the Detroit Eagles. The Youngstown win, it's first at home after dropping the opening 2 games of the series, prevented Detroit from clinching. The first PBA title trophy will be handed out tomorrow night as the series is now deadlocked at 3 wins apiece.

Youngstown had 3 players share most of the offensive load. Forwards Mark Booker and Matt Green each had 25 points will guard Rash Hamilton chipped in with 21. Like he has done all series guard Andre Tyler was Detroit's scoring leader with 24 points.


JUNE 7, 1921
DETROIT CROWNED PBA CHAMPIONS
The Detroit Eagles claimed the first PBA Championship with a 98-87 road victory over Youngstown in the 7th and deciding game of the finals. Playoff MVP Andre Tyler led Detroit with 23 points while forward Sil Nesta added 16.

The Eagles are unlikely champions as they finished just 42-40 in the regular season and were the 8th and final seed from the Western Conference. Youngstown was the second seed in the East.

JUNE 10, 1920
xO'LOUGHLIN WINS FINAL US OPEN TUNE-UP
Martin O'Loughlin was the only golfer to finish under par in the New York State Open and he won the event against some pretty stiff competition. With the United States Open just a week away most of the PGA Tour's top golfers competed at the Onondaga Lake Park course including Bobby xJones, who tied with Olin xDutra for second place.

THREE WAY TIE ATOP US OPEN LEADERBOARD
There is a three-way tie for the lead after first round action at the United States Open Golf Tournament. A pair of Americans, 33 year old Eddie xLoos and 29 year old Jaden Carpenter, along with Ireland's Callum O'Grady lead the way after each shot a 3 under par 67 at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Defending US Open champion Willie xMacFarlane is just 3 shots off the pace, along with last year's PGA winner Walter Hagen. The other reigning major winner, British Open champ Jimmy xHines, shot 3 over par and trails by 6 strokes.

This is the 25th United States Open. The event began in 1895 but was not held in 1917 or 1918 due to World War I. The real life winner was Jim Barnes, who shot 9 over par and beat Hagen and Fred McLeod by 9 strokes. xBarnes sits at 4 over in the sim after opening round action.

YOUNG IRISHMAN LEADS WAY AT US OPEN
21 year old Callum O'Grady is the unlikely leader midway through the United States Open. O'Grady is playing in his first major tournament. He played on the PGA Tour last year and won just $464 while rarely making the cut. However, this season he returned to Ireland to play on the European tour where he did have a strong start and won both the Australian and French Opens.

O'Grady opened Thursday with a 3 under par 67 to share the lead and after carding a 69 yesterday he has sole possession of first place, 2 strokes ahead of Matt xDuffy. There are some veterans in contention, most notably defending US Open champion Willie xMacFarlane, who shot even par 70 for the second straight day.

US OPEN PLAY CONTINUES
When the dust settled there were some big changes on the leaderboard for the 25th United States Open. Some golfers such as Jerry xTravers, who shot 4 under par 66, moved up the leaderboard but the trend was in the opposite direction led by second round leader Callum O'Grady blowing up by shooting 79 and defending champion Willie xMacFarlane taking himself out of contention with a 6 over par 76.

American Matt xDuffy is the leader with 18 homes to play. xDuffy shot even par yesterday after carding a 69 in each of the opening two days of the event. At 2 under par he holds a 2 stroke lead on xTravers and 3 on Jim xBarnes. It appears the event will go to one of those three men as Phil xHesler and Fred xHerd are 6 strokes off the pace in 4th place.

I did the same thing with my current HOB replay, the only trade I did to alter the teams myself. The thing to watch out for though is Babe's position of 1B. After about 5 seasons of not seeing Lou Gehrig in the leaderboards I looked him up and he was toiling as a bench player backing up Ruth at 1B. I had to manually add OF ratings for Ruth just so the AI would move him and put Gehrig in the lineup, too. Unfortunately, this was 1930 and the glory days of a Ruth/Gehrig combo were running out.

JIM xBARNES WINS 25TH US OPEN
Long Jim xBarnes overcame a three stroke deficeit entering final round play and rallied to beat Matt xDuffy by one stroke to wih the United States Open Golf Championships at Columbia Country Club in Maryland. xBarnes shot a 2 under par 68 Sunday to finish the event at one under par, the only golfer to finish the tournament below par.

Born in England but raised in the United States, Barnes was also the real life winner of the 1921 US Open. In real life he also won the PGA Championship in 1916 and 1919 as well as the 1925 British Open.

RUTH HOMERS IN RETURN TO FENWAY
Babe Ruth hit his major league leading 27th homerun but it was not enough for the New York Yankees to beat Ruth's old team as Boston won 5-2. Ruth hit a solo shot over the Green Monster in the 5th inning off of Sailor Stroud to cut Boston's lead at the time to 3-2. It was Ruth's first game in Fenway since being traded from the Red Sox following a brawl with teammates last month.

While Ruth's presence in the lineup has certainly made New York a much stronger team it has not translated to success in the league standings. The Yankees are 7-11 since Ruth joined the squad in a trade with Boston but it is the Yankee pitching staff that deserves most of the blame. New York has allowed more runs against than any other team in the American League. Boston, on the other hand, continues to roll right along even without Ruth's bat. The Red Sox have won 13 of 17 games since the deal was made. Boston now holds a 6 game lead on second place Detroit atop the American League standings.

xBARNES FOLLOWS UP US OPEN WITH WIN AT BRAE BURN
For the second week in a row Jim xBarnes is the winner of the PGA stop. Last week was much more prestigous when xBarnes took home the US Open title but he was quite happy with a win in the Massachusetts Open this week. xBarnes finished a stroke ahead of Archie xLoeffler and 2 up on Fred xHerd. xHerd also finished third at last week's US Open.

The two victories vault the 28 year old xBarnes into the World number one ranking, just ahead of Walter xHagen. xHerd is fourth behind European Tour veteran Alec xRoss. xBarnes also moves to the top of the PGA money winner list with $4,592 in earnings this season. xHagen is second at $3,666.

AGGIES GO 1-2 IN PBA DRAFT
As expected the two freshman guards from Texas A&M were selected first and second in the Professional Basketball Association draft. The Pittsburgh Raiders, who won just 15 of their 82 games last season, started the draft by taking shooting guard Michael McMaster while Cleveland followed up by selecting his backcourt make Mark Bass.

The first college senior selected was point guard Shaun Boddicker of Mississippi, who went third to Atlanta. Milwaukee made it four straight guards to start the draft when the All-Stars selected Reece Cable from Illinois.

College player of the year Brian Hawkins of USC was selected 14th by Denver. Sam Hightower from the University of San Francisco and Maryland's Dwayne Taylor were the other first team All-Americans to be drafted. Hightower went to the Brooklyn Gothams with the 11th pick while Taylor was selected 29th by the Houston Mavericks.

JUNE NOTES
Washington will be without outfielder Cy Williams for 2 months after he was injured in a game on June 29th. The 33 year old Williams was hitting .320 with 18 homers and 66 rbi's at the time of the injury.

Brooklyn lost a pair of outfielders. First 21 year old Heinie Mueller tore his ankle up and a week later the Dodgers lost Casey Stengel for a month with a groin injury. The 30 year old Stengal was hitting .283 with 8 homers and 38 rbi's. Mueller's injury is much more serious as he is expected to be done for the year. He was hitting .308 with a homer and 26 rbi's in 221 at bats when he went down.

Patsy Dougherty of the Senators got his 2500th career hit in a game against the Athletics on June 23. The 44 year old becomes the 8th player to reach the 2500 hit plateau.

WHITE SOX DELIVER MAILS TO CUBS
The Chicago White Sox have sent pitcher Duster Mails to the cross-town Cubs in exchange for outfielder Babe Twombley. Mails was leading the American League in strikeouts with 51 at the time of the deal. The 26 year old righthander was 6-8 with a 5.98 era for the White Sox this season. He is 23-36 in a 6 year career that also included a stop in Brooklyn. The Cubs made the move because Phil Douglas (7-2, 2.24) suffered a hand injury and will be out of action for a month.

The 25 year old Twombley is being counted on to add some offense to the White Sox. He was batting .376 in part time duty for the Cubs.

[AthleticsFan]

What's next Tiger Fan what will you agree on in order to switch to Historictional......

- Ancestor Sign-ups (Starting in 1922) Including High School Teenagers starting in 1970.
- Expansion Voting (Starting in 1942-1945) First Tiger Fan picks 5-10 teams from Minor League Teams that not have a Major League Team, then the users from the forum will suggest Created Teams for the Expansion Vote.
- Female Baseball Players (Starting in 1943 with the AAGPBL) and possibly have the first Female player to play baseball. (And Hopefully will get a Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Team.)
- International Baseball (Starting in 1936 with the Japan League)
- Using the NFL with Total Pro Football instead of Second and team (Starting in 1923) If Agreed what are the teams?

Will you agree Tiger Fan?

[Tiger Fan]

Don't think any of those will happen. The two closest to consideration would be ancestor sign-up and using TPF. I decided against ancestor signup becuase 1)- I have too much other stuff to track already and 2)-others have done it and done it quite well on this board. As for using TPF and BBCF I briefly considered it but with no way to get my college stars to the pro league I thought staying closer to historical made more sense.

Btw, I have already simmed the NFL from 1950-2006 using Second and Ten and there were some great NFL championship and Super Bowl games.

PLENTY OF FIREWORKS AS DEMPSEY WINS AGAIN
Amistd Independance Day celebrations, World Heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey unloaded with plenty of fireworks of his own. The World Heavyweight Champion beat challenger Fred Fulton badly in a bout at Madison Square Garden. Fulton was handpicked as an easy tuneup fight for Dempsey but the challenger deserves a lot of credit for being one of the few men to survive the entire 15 rounds with Dempsey. Fulton, 40-7, was also given a title shot a few years back against then-champ Harry Wills.


JULY 9, 1921
WALLACE WINS CANADIAN OPEN
American Alex Wallace notched his second PGA win of the season after winnning the Canadian Open by 2 strokes over Jack xBurgess. Very few of the top professionals elected to compete as most decided to board a boat across the Atlantic a little early in order to get some practice rounds in England before the British Open. This year's Open will be held at St Andrews from July 19-21.





JULY 13, 1921
EDDIE COLLINS COLLECTS CAREER HIT 2000
Philadelphia Athletics infielder Eddie Collins became the 32nd member of the 2000 hit club after singling in a 6-5 loss to Detroit. The 34 year old is in his 16th major league season, all with the A's and has a .298 career batting average. This seeason he his hitting .311 with 5 homers and 47 rbi's. He has 3 World Series rings from his time with the A's.

The all-time career hit leader is Jesse Burkett with 3030. Detroit's Ty Cobb is the top active player with 2922.



JULY 18, 1921
BRITISH OPEN SET TO START AT ST ANDREWS
For the 12th time St Andrews will play host to the British Open. Most of the top American tour golfers have made the trip across the Atlantic so this should prove to be one of the most competitive Opens ever staged.

Among the favourites are 1919 and 1920 PGA champion Walter xHagen, PGA tour money leader Jim xBanres and Euro tour vets Alec xRoss and Harry xVardon. Youngsters who could make some noise include Americans Bobby xJones and Gene xSarazen. The defending champion, American Jimmy xHines who won at Royal Cinque Ports last year, will also be back.


JULY 18, 1921
O'DOWD BEATS SMITH IN REMATCH
After winning an unanimous decision over Jeff Smith in January to reclaim the World Middleweight Title, Mike O'Dowd once again defeated Smith in the rematch. O'Dowd, fighting before a hometown crowd in St. Paul, Minnesota, won by technical knockout in the 14th round. The 26 year old's professional record now stands at 35-4-4. Smith falls to 42-8-1 and it appears unlikely the 30 year old will get another title shot.


JULY 19, 1921
22 GOLFERS WITHIN 2 STROKES OF LEAD AFTER OPENING ROUND AT ST ANDREWS
Calm conditions were the order of the day on Thursday at St. Andrews and as a result 33 of the 120 entrants in the British Open broke par. The tournament is extremely tight as 7 golfers share the opening round lead at 4 under par while another 8 including 21 year old American Bobby xJones are just one stroke back.

Scores may skyrocket tomorrow as the early forecast is for extremely brisk winds.

MOODY KNOCKS OUT O'BRIEN FOR LHW TITLE
Frank Moody is the new World Lightheavyweight champion after he knocked out Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in the 15th round of their title bout in London. The bout was close throughout but the 42 year old O'Brien clearly ran out of gas in the final couple of rounds.

Moody, a 21 year old Welshman, improves to 39-3-1 after claiming the World Title in his first shot at the belt. O'Brien falls to 61-12-6 with the loss and is expected to announce his retirement soon. He held the World Lightheavyweight Title from 1911-1916 and again the past 6 months after beating Fay Keiser.


JULY 20, 1921
DEFENDING CHAMP xHINES CO-LEADER MIDWAY THRU OPEN
Perhaps Jimmy xHines should consider playing on the European PGA Tour full-time. He has yet to win an event in North America but is in position to claim the British Open title for the second straight year.

xHines, a 21 year old from New York state, shot the best round of the day at 5 under par 67. That lowers his score to 7 under and ties him with fellow American Page xHufty for the lead. In real life Hines played in 18 majors but never finished higher than 7th. He competed in 8 US Opens and 10 Masters tournaments but never played in the British Open.

Just at first glance, it looks like everybody struggled in that third round, TF. Walter and Willie appeared to have the most trouble though! I'm still holding out hope that Bobby Jones will make a run!

Also, did Dempsey have Arliss Michaels set him up with Tomato Khan?

Final round created even more problems.


JULY 21, 1921
xLEACH WINS BRITISH OPEN IN PLAYOFF AFTER WILD FINISH
A wet, windy day made for extremely difficult playing conditions but it also provided one of the most dramatic finishes to major a tournament in recent memory. Only Carl xGiehler managed to break par with a 1 under 71 as scores over 78 were more the norm on this day. Defending British Open champion Jimmy xHines exploded and shot an 8 over par 80 but it was still good enough to get him into a 4 way playoff for the title.

xHines would join Bill xLeach, Matt xDuffy and Fred xHerd in the playoff. Young American Bobby xJones made a tremendous charge, starting the day 10 strokes off the pace, but finished 2 back of the leaders.

xLeach, who hails from Philadelphia, never played in the British Open in real life. He did make 3 appearances in the US Open in the 1920's with his best finish coming in 1928 when he was 6th. In the real 1921 British Open Jock Hutchinson became the first non-British champion when he beat British amateur Roger Wethered in a 36-hole playoff by 9 strokes. Hutchinson missed the cut in the sim while Wethered tied for 34th.

JOE GANS CAREER COMES TO END WITH LOSS TO UREN
Joe Gans, who at age 46 shocked the boxing world in May by beating Jimmy Fryer for the World Welterweight Title, has announced his retirement after he was knocked out in the first round of his title defense against Tommy Uren. The 28 year old Australian was all over Gans right from the start and the veteran looked all of his 46 years of age.


Gans retires with a 70-16-6 career record. He was World Lightweight champion from 1902-1906 and held the Welterweight Title in 1910-1911 as well as for the last 3 months.

Uren, 31-3-2, also briefly held the Welterweight title last year before losing to Fryer in August.

The Washington Senators have picked up pitcher Dutch Leonard from Detroit in a deal just before baseball's trade deadline. The Tigers get shortstop Tillie Shafer in return.

Leonard was among the league leaders in both strikeouts and earned run average. The 29 year old is 9-3 with a 3.46 era this season. In 9 years he has a career record of 111-99. Shafer was hitting .283 for the Sens at the time of the deal. The 32 year old infielder has played over 1500 games and is a career .274 hitter.

In a seperate trade the Senators filled the hole at shortstop by acquiring Russ Wrightstone from the Phillies. The 28 year old Wrightstone was hitting .294 with 8 homers and 57 rbi's this season. The Phillies add Rasty Wright to their woeful pitching staff in the deal. Wright is 25 years old and was 7-8 with a 5.11 era.

LEW TENDLER HOLDS LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP LEONARD TO DRAW
Top contender Lew Tendler fought the fight of his life but it still wasn't good enough to beat World Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard. The bout ended in a draw but only after Leonard floored the challenger with 30 seconds remaining in the 15th and final round. Had Leonard not won the 15th 10-8 for the knockdown on all 3 judges cards we would be talking about a new lightweight champion today.

With the draw Leonard retains the title but has promised Tendler a rematch in October.
