Some notes on the simulated '62 season

Hank Aaron (MKE) had 57 homers- he had 45 in real life (IRL).
Harmon Killebrew (MIN) had 51 in 132 games - he had 48 in 155 games IRL.

Koufax went 19-8 with 346 Ks and a 1.83 ERA, 0.89 WHIP 12 WAR - IRL he went 14-7 with a 2.54 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP, striking out only 216.

Second in strikeouts was Dennis Bennett (PHI) with 254, who only had 149 IRL.

Stu Miller (SF) had 43 saves to lead the league. IRL, Roy Face (PIT) led it with 28.

Ken MacKenzie (NYM) had 17 holds. In fact, the '62 Mets had 3 relievers in the top 10 in holds, which probably speaks to my more modern management style.

I was happy that none of my pitchers lost 20 games. The real life Mets featured 2: Roger Craig at 10-24 and Al Jackson at 8-20. Whereas my Roger Craig went 12-16 and Al Jackson went 13-15. And I did have one pitcher post a winning record: Billy Pierce at 15-14. He wasn't on the real life '62 Mets.
