Mathewson and Gehrig seem like a good pair though, and with Jackie Robinson and Willie Wilson they should be able to score some runs. I'm not a big fan of Hurst, but they do seem to have a respectable rotation. Their first winning season would be nice. They seem like they are a couple of pieces away, so hopefully they don't blow it! |

The other franchise that has been like that is Alabama, but in the last three seasons they seem to be getting a clue and are off to a great start this season - though I think part of that is being done with mirrors. That whole division just crapped out of the gate this season. But they've gotten better. |

 2019 Recap - May FIRINGS IN CHICAGO AND SACRAMENTO Since and including the 2013 season, the Chicago Hitmen and the Sacramento Stingers have finished 1-2 in the Southern League East division 4 of 6 seasons. Three times, they finished within 2 games of each other. Last season, Sacramento won the division and Chicago finished third, but still only four games behind. Suffice it to say, these two have been rivals, in lockstep with each for years.Apparently, they’ve taken that to a new level. Within two weeks of each other, Chicago and Sacramento fired their respective managers, as both teams struggle to right their respective ships in a division suddenly dominated by the upstate Indianapolis Engines. On May 7, Chicago fired skipper Jack McKeon. Chicago had fired manager Bill McGunnigle – now the bench coach in Orlando – at the end of last season and inked McKeon to a 5-year deal. To eat four-plus years, particularly given the injuries that have beset the Hitmen in the early going this season, seems a major overreaction. But the Hitmen have replaced McKeon with Pants Rowland, only to go 7-10 since he’s taken over. As for Sacramento, they fired longtime manager Bobby Cox on May 20. Cox, a two-time Manager of the Year who signed on with Sacramento prior to the 2013 season after leading the San Antonio Sheriffs for 3 ½ years, led Sacramento to four division titles in six seasons, and won a championship in 2013, his first season at the helm. But a 16-27 start this season spelled his end. The story twists, however, with Cox’s replacement – Jack McKeon. The move should make for an interesting dynamic between these two clubs going forward. ENGINES ROLL ON First in runs and first in fewest runs allowed, the Indianapolis Engines kept their foot on the gas in May. Though their scoring pace slowed a bit, they still went 17-11 on the month and averaged 5 runs a game.Despite a hairline fracture of his foot that has sidelined him the past two weeks, Stan Musial is still putting up stellar numbers, tied for second in the Northern League in RBI with 45 – joined by teammate Alan Trammell (.364-8-45). In fact, the Engines have 8 players with at least 20 RBI. Lary Sorensen leads the pitching staff (7-3, 2.79), but key has been closed John Hiller, who in 12 appearances has 4 wins, 8 saves and a 0.85 ERA for the Engines, who already lead the division by 10 ½ games, a testament to the job done by manager Whitey Herzog. SOUNDING THE BELL IN PHILLY The reports of the Philadelphia Ringers’ demise have been greatly exaggerated, it seems. Despite the continued struggles of ace Ed Walsh (4-6, 6.35), the Ringers opened May on a 19-3 rampage before cooling off to drop 6 of their last 7. They still went 20-9 in May to surge back into contention after their 11-14 start. Key to the resurgence has been rightfielder Warren Cromartie (.315-6-44), who tied a PBL record by driving in 8 runs in a 16-1 pasting of Chicago on May 3. Monte Irvin (.312-7-36) rattled off a 25-game hitting streak. On May 21 against Boston, Irvin went 0-for-2 before leaving the game with an elbow strain, ending his streak – the record remaining 34, set by Tim Raines. While the starting pitching continues to scuffle, the bullpen has straightened out its mess. George Mogridge (2-1, 1.73) and closer Doug Corbett (5-0, 11 SV, 2.16 ERA) have been dominant. Mogridge is 2-1 with 2.05 ERA over his last 13 appearances, while Corbett became the rare reliever to be named Pitcher of the Month, posting a 1.04 ERA and picking up 10 saves in his last 17 appearances. The steady and underrated Carl Furillo is batting .336 to lead the team. NORTHERN LEAGUE NOTES
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING? It’s hard to argue with the Los Angeles Idols’ success over the past few years. Two PBL championships in three seasons is hard to argue with. But one must think it’s a struggle to keep all these strong players happy. Right now, the odd man out seems to be Jerry Turner. Ralph Kiner (.280-15-42) has locked down the permanent DH slot. Ty Cobb (.364-3-16) is back from injury, and back in rightfield. Oscar Charleston (.260-7-29) hit .290 in May and seems to be over his April slump, and holds down centerfield. And Dave Winfield, given an extension in spring training, mans left despite a slump (.246-8-32). And so Turner, who hit .314 last season in more than 400 at bats, is losing the fight for at bats.For now, though, Turner is saying all the right things to keep from rocking a nicely cruising ship. The captain of that ship, no disrespect intended to skipper Frank Selee, is Dan Brouthers. The leader continues to tear the cover off the ball (.329-17-56). On May 15 in a 22-5 drubbing of Oklahoma City, Brouthers went 5-for-6, scored six runs, hit two homers and drove in six runs as well. That display added to a month for the Idols that saw Luke Easter hit for the second cycle of the young season (Milwaukee’s Joe Tinker hit the first on April 26, an omission from last month’s update). The month also saw Charleston join Brouthers, Arizona’s Sam Thompson and Chicago’s Roger Connor in the 1,000 RBI club. BAD PITCHING STINGS SCORPIONS Their offense hasn’t been exceptional, but it’s the pitching that has seen the Oklahoma City Scorpions fall off the cliff and back into the cellar of the Southern League West.While Walter Johnson (6-4, 3.93) and Britt Burns (2-6 despite a 2.92 ERA) have been solid, the team ERA now stands at 5.43, including a 6.57 from the bullpen. That, my friends, is how you put up a 9-20 month. On the bright side, the combo of Mickey Mantle (.286-11-33) and Albert Pujols (.296-12-47) has been fun to watch early on. VEGAS LIVES The Las Vegas Bosses dipped below .500 with a 13-15 month, but are only 5 ½ games out 2 months into the season, something they would surely have signed up for before the year began.Lou Gehrig continues to scald the baseball and bring fans to the park. But the team got tough news when they learned outfielder Gene Richards (.373-0-15) would be done for the season after breaking his forearm crashing into the fence. A sparkplug with Willie Wilson (.308, 25 SBs) atop the Vegas order, Richards’ absence will be felt in a big way. Bob Cerv will get the bulk of the at bats for now. SOUTHERN LEAGUE NOTES

Got ahead of myself and simmed through June without copying down the leaderboard at the end of May. Whoops!

This is working out well, but want to try and start incorporating some images too. Other than that, I think I've found a good approach.

2019 Recap - June EAST TIGHTENS UP The New York Heroes had the rest of the Northern League East chasing them over the first two months of the season. But now, at the beginning of July and as we reach the midpoint of the season, the division has gotten very interesting. Jose Mendez: Did New York mishandle his injury? It begins with a difficult, injury-plagued month for the Heroes, who went 10-17 and saw six different players go on the disabled list. Jose Mendez (7-5, 3.91) raises the most concern, and criticism. On June 14 in St. Louis, Mendez left in the fourth inning of a start after complaining of an oblique strain. He wasn’t put on the DL, and on June 20, the Heroes sent him out there again. He made it into the second against Sacramento before being pulled again. This time, he was diagnosed with an abdominal strain and placed on the disabled list. He’s due to come off right after the All-Star Break. Centerfielder Ruppert Jones (.274-7-42) was shelved with wrist tendonitis, but should be back in about a week. That came a day after second baseman Sam Wise (.226-15-43), the team’s home run and RBI leader, suffered a partially torn hamstring. He could be out until August. Then, defensively challenged shortstop Wayne Gross (.268-8-42) broke his wrist on June 28. Reserves Bill Madlock and Ed McKean also were disabled, but are expected back soon. The Heroes collapse opened the door for the rest of the division. And all but Charlotte walked through. The Louisville Racers went 8-3 to open the month and, siezing on the troubles in Chicago, contacted the Hitmen to make a deal. In the end, the Racers acquired Dick Allen (.253-19-57), dealing 34-year-old starter Rube Foster (7-6, 4.54) in a deal that didn’t seem to make much sense for the Hitmen other than with respect to salary. Foster is making $645,000…Allen just over $6 million.  Dick Allen: On the move again Since the deal, Allen has gone .290-4-14 in 17 games. That helped the Racers go 15-12, keeping up a steady pace that has landed them in a tie for first in the division. Despite the awful start from centerfielder Richie Ashburn (.169-2-15), the Racers’ offense still ranks second in the Northern League. Young Robin Yount, 22, has been handed half of a platoon for now and is producing (.274-7-28). Ashburn, who has averaged a .400 OBP and 110 runs scored the past two seasons, will get time to work through his issues. But for now, Yount at least protects him against lefties. The defending Northern League champion Philadelphia Ringers had an eventful month. They lost Carlos Marmol (6-6, 4.61) for the season with a shoulder injury, and lost Carl Furillo (.317-5-29) with a broken toe. But the Ringers’ real story of the month is their attempt to make up for the offseason complacency previously mentioned. They dealt reserve infielder Rick Burleson to Arizona in a surprising deal to pick up first baseman/outfielder Mike Hargrove (.226-6-36) who fell off last season and struggled to start this year, as the Ringers hope to catch lightning in a bottle. But their big deal was dealing with Las Vegas. The Bosses, who we’ll get to later, fell off in June and seem to have realized that while they’ve improved it’s not their time yet. So Vegas dealt slugger Jay Gibbons (.261-15-44), who’s 34, to Philadelphia for 29-year-old on base machine John McGraw (.318-13-32, .440 OBP). The deal gives Philadelphia some pop, as they currently stand 7th out of 10 Northern League teams in homers. Vegas gets younger. Meanwhile, the Boston Riders went on a tear, going 18-9 during the month despite the loss of closer Eddie Cicotte (2-5, 3 SV, 7.39) to elbow surgery. He’s been replaced by Mark Davis (8 SV, 3.13), and the starting pitching has been great: Jim Palmer (12-2, 3.60) and Steve Carlton (7-6, 3.49) are making the long-term deals signed in the offseason look good. But it’s the support of Red Munger (7-3, 3.64) and Johnny Schmitz (4-2, 3.68) that’s really carried them.   Carlton and Palmer: Pitching the Riders back into race PLAYING FOR SECOND From the bottom up, the Chicago Hitmen are a mess, evidenced by their quick expulsion of free agent signee Dick Allen. This is a lost season in Chicago, saved only by Roger Connor (.303-13-32) and the excitement of Babe Ruth (.236-30-70) as he pursues the single-season home run record of 51 held by Dan Brouthers and George Hall.  Babe Ruth: Chasing Homer Record Milwaukee’s Tank Carr (.309-20-45) has been great, and the Bruce Sutter, Ron Davis, Dave Righetti bullpen trio is as good as it gets in the PBL. But they rarely have a lead to protect. In Wichita, fans are enjoying the show rookie Bill Terry (.359-7-52) is putting on. But they are most excited about Rube Waddell. The 33-year-old career-long member of the Brigade has experienced a resurgence, going 10-3 with a 3.34 ERA and is second in the Northern League in strikeouts with 112. NORTHERN LEAGUE NOTES
 Well Dunn: 300th Homer
TIDE TURNING It wasn’t a great month for the St. Louis Tides. They went 13-14. But considering they opened the month 2-11, including a 7-game losing streak, they’re glad to be where they are – tied for first. That’s because the Alabama Airmen went 11-16, failing to take advantage of the Tides’ issues. The month turned for the Tides when they went into Alabama to take 3 of 4. A Jeff Francis (6-3, 3.34) complete game was all that salvaged the series for Alabama, which was outscored 21-6 in the series, including a 12-1 battering of Alabama ace Mike Scott (8-6, 2.81) in the series finale.  Mike Scott: Caught Up in the Tide St. Louis’ shortcoming is its lack of power: Duke Snider leads with 16. Don Lock is second with 6. But still, they are third in the Southern League in runs scored. The possible advantage for St. Louis here could be the late July return of Sam Crawford. The Tides already have better pitching – a Southern League best ERA of 3.97 - despite Alabama’s improvements. HOPE FLOATS Hope has taken the field in Orlando. While the Orcas sit 7 ½ games back, they did go 15-12 in June as their offseason pickups and rookies got it going. Rusty Staub (.286-10-43) hit .314 for the month. Rookie Joey Votto (.270-8-46) hit .327, while second-round pick Hack Wilson (.286-2-10) came off the disabled list and third-round steal Goose Goslin (.304-4-31) hit .344. With 2017 Outstanding Rookie Chino Smith back on track (.337-9-55), things are looking up. They still need pitching, though, and could be interesting to watch at the deadline if the Tides or Airmen don’t start to create some separation. IDOLS ROLLING, BUT NOT RUNNING AWAY How do you respond to losing Mark Prior for two months? You go 21-6. No doubt impressive, and the Idols have scored 502 runs at the midpoint, on pace to become a 1,000 run team. The offense is a juggernaut. Dan Brouthers (.317-21-72) has actually been outperformed by Ralph Kiner (.330-26-79). Ty Cobb (.344-4-28) has been a sparkplug and even in off seasons, Yogi Berra (.254-8-42) and Oscar Charleston (.266-10-46) have been productive. The unheralded Roy Sievers (.296-17-64) is batting 7th and raking. As for Prior, his struggles (3-3, 5.31) may have found their source…a herniated disk has him sidelined indefinitely, though it’s expected to be at least until late August.  Mark Prior: Back troubles But despite all their prowess, including unexpected pitching from Bob Ojeda (9-3, 3.83) and Ricky Nolasco (8-4, 3.98) and Pitcher of the Month Shawn Chacon (8-4, 3.88), the Idols have a sight in the rearview mirror. The San Antonio Sheriffs have quietly stayed within 2 ½ games of the Idols. A big part of that has been a tremendous 23-10 record on the road. Rightfielder John Anderson (.332-14-54) continues his annual improvement of the past five years, during which his VORP has gone from 6.6, 24.5, 26.4, 28.1, 31.1 and, already this season, 30.4. At 31, Anderson may be at his peak. The Sheriffs boast baseball’s best bullpen (2.77 ERA led by setup man Bill Singer (2.15 ERA) and closer Babe Adams (4-1, 16 SV, 2.08 ERA)). While the rotation has been middling, the top two of Cy Falkenberg (10-6, 3.98) and Ted Breitenstein (8-4, 3.65) have been solid. Despite an offense devoid of power (66 homers, 8th in the Southern League), the Sheriffs are second in runs (457), a function of drawing walks, not striking out and aggressiveness on the bases, led by Tim Raines (.286-7-55, 21 SB).  Tim Raines: Keeping Sheriffs in the Running You don’t want to make too much of a July series. But, after going 2-7 against them thus far, San Antonio gets a chance to make a statement in Los Angeles July 15-18. SOUTHERN LEAGUE NOTES   Tris Speaker and Willie Stargell: Locked Up

2019 Recap - July THE STARS COME OUT AT NIGHT The Southern League won this year’s matchup, 6-0, as the Northern League stars managed only 6 hits. Tony Perez of the Memphis Strummers was the game’s Most Valuable Player, getting three hits with a run and an RBI. Despite being the division leaders, New York sent only one player to the game, closer Tom Niedenfeur. There’s concern now that Niedenfeur may be injured , as he never made it into the game. But Niedenfeur says he’s healthy, and while he didn’t say much, his tone afterward was one of a man not happy with the decision of Philadelphia skipper Ralph Houk to keep him off the field.  ALL-STAR MVP Tony Perez of Memphis
PRIOR ALL-STAR GAME RESULTS 2009: NL 5, SL 3 MVP: John McGraw 2010: SL 6, NL 4 MVP: Oscar Charleston 2011: SL 4, NL 1 MVP: Fred Tenney 2012: NL 14, SL 6 MVP: Brian Roberts 2013: SL 5, NL 1 MVP: Sam Thompson 2014: NL 4, SL 2 MVP: Dan Brouthers 2015: SL 13, NL 7 MVP: Fred Dunlap 2016: NL 14, SL 1 MVP: Roger Connor 2017: NL 9, SL 6 MVP: Ken Griffey 2018: NL 6, SL 4 MVP: Eddie Matthews END OF AN ERA IN CHICAGO? The injury comes after a partially torn elbow ligament ended his 2018 season, raising real concern Sanders’ career may be over. Sanders has not met with the press since the diagnosis.  Ben Sanders' career could be over TOOTHLESS COUGARS The Cougars played .500 ball through the first two months of the season. But a colossal collapse by their pitching staff has left them out that fight, going 18-35 since June 1. “Of course we’re disappointed,” manager Jimy Williams said. “The opportunity presented itself for us to get into this thing, and we basically spit the bit.” Reigning NL Outstanding Pitcher Jake Peavy (5-8, 5.56) has been abysmal. He, La Marr Hoyt (5-11, 5.25) and Cut Simmons (3-5, 6.19) are a combined 13-24 with a 5.87 ERA. While there’s hope with rookie Hunter Pence (.311-19-56), newly acquired Jim Rice (.285-23-69) and the now solidified Eddie Murray (.303-19-74) – who just signed a 3-year deal – that hope is for next year. This year’s promise appears gone.  Charlotte signed Eddie Murray to a 3-year deal NORTHERN LEAGUE NOTES
MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR SAN ANTONIO Instead, the Sheriffs went cold as well. San Antonio went 11-15 in July, dropping 6 in a row before winning their last three of the month. They had split a 4-game set with Los Angeles the week before and next play the Idols in Los Angeles the last week of August. The two teams end the season with a 4-game set in San Antonio. WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS… Bruce Hurst (9-5, 3.76) earned Pitcher of the Month honors, while rookie slugger Lou Gehrig remained the sport’s biggest story. Gehrig (.359-27-88) temporarily took the lead in the Southern League batting race before Tris Speaker retook the lead. Gehrig’s surge to the front was buoyed by a hitting streak that has now reached 31 games, three shy of Tim Raines’ PBL record mark of 34. Gehrig is benefitting from the presence of John McGraw (.334-17-48), acquired in June for Jay Gibbons. Though McGraw was reportedly angered at being dealt out of a pennant race, he hasn’t let it affect his play. He’s batted .338 with a .435 OBP since coming over in the deal. It’s easy to forget that McGraw, who was in the PBL’s inaugural draft, is only 29 despite being in his 11th season. He was 19 when the PBL began. One negative for the Bosses: centerfielder Willie Wilson suffered a broken hand after being hit by a pitch and will be out until mid-September. Wilson has taken a huge leap forward this season and is one of several reasons for hope in Las Vegas.  Lou Gehrig has been a force in Las Vegas SOUTHERN LEAGUE NOTES
SPECIAL SECTION TRADE DEADLINE BRINGS STRANGE BEDFELLOWS The Northern League East rivals, where the top four teams are separated by six games, blew that theory out of the water in the last week. Of the 8 trade deadline deals made in the PBL, four of them were between teams within the East. The Louisville Racers were the most active, making three deals at the deadline. One of those was with the last pace Charlotte Cougars in the East, dealing Jim Rice (.285-23-69) in a surprising move to acquire Turkey Stearnes (.309-13-54), citing Stearnes’ superior defense. Philadelphia wasn’t sitting still, though. They traded first baseman Jason Thompson (.289-17-59) to the Boston Riders for pitcher Red Munger (9-3, 3.39). They then turned around and dealt Doug Waechter (9-7, 4.91) to the New York Heroes for third baseman Jim Ray Hart (.258-5-52). New York then turned around and dealt with Boston, sending Frank Tanana (7-9, 4.25) to the Riders for outfielder Joe Kelley (.298-4-18). Louisville and Boston both struck deals with the West division’s Milwaukee Bangers as well. The Racers made the most surprising deal, sending popular but struggling centerfielder Richie Ashburn (.186-2-19) to the Bangers for equally struggling pitcher Joe Coleman (2-16, 5.39). That Ashburn, who has been two Louisville’s sparkplug for two seasons, averaging 110 runs prior to this year, and played a Gold Glove caliber centerfield, was dealt shocked the PBL community. “I don’t get it,” said another Northern League executive. “I’d take Ashburn on my team any day just for the defense. And his offense will return. He’s just lost his way a bit this year. Boston then picked from Milwaukee’s stellar bullpen, landing Bruce Sutter (2-0, 2 SV, 3.00 ERA) in exchange for second baseman Gil McDougald (.304-6-36). The Southern League was quiet at the deadline, although the San Antonio Sheriffs did deal Eppa Rixey (8-6, 4.95) to Louisville for shortstop/second baseman Ross Barnes (.234-5-28). The move is obviously a look ahead for the, Sheriffs, who hope Barnes status as the most experienced postseason player in PBL history will help them down the stretch and into the playoffs should they catch Los Angeles for the division. The Alabama Airmen, apparently seeing little out there to boost their offense, decided to address their bullpen, picking up Luis DeLeon (4-3, 5 SV, 3.55) from Orlando for George Brett (.252-5-17). This could be a great trade for Orlando as they look to put together one of baseball’s best young lineups after a strong draft last season. “Just stick Brett at third and leave him alone,” one scout said. “Injuries have slowed the start of his career. But he’s 25 and will be a hit machine as long as he stayed healthy. He’ll outperform [current Alabama third baseman Ray] Knight over their careers in a landslide.”  Richie Ashburn is out of Louisville  George Brett is now in Orlando PLAYERS OF THE MONTH NORTHERN LEAGUE BATTER OF THE MONTH: Babe Ruth, Chicago Hitmen NORTHERN LEAGUE PITCHER OF THE MONTH: Bill Byrd, Milwaukee Bangers NORTHERN LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE MONTH: Bill Terry, Wichita Brigade SOUTHERN LEAGUE BATTER OF THE MONTH: Mickey Mantle, Oklahoma City Scorpions SOUTHERN LEAGUE PITCHER OF THE MONTH: Bruce Hurst, Las Vegas Bosses SOUTHERN LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE MONTH: Lou Gehrig, Las Vegas Bosses

2019 Recap - August NORTHERN LEAGUE PENNANT RACE It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas. It’s pennant race time in the Pastime Baseball League, and the stage is set for a thrilling pennant race in the Northern League’s East division. Mike Hegan carries Boston The Boston Riders have ridden the strong arms of Jim Palmer (18-5, 3.10) and Steve Carlton (13-7, 3.45) to the division lead, albeit by a half game over the New York Heroes. Mike Hegan (.305-38-100) has refused to let up in this career year he’s having. Keith Hernandez (.288-11-62) has hit .343 since July 1, and Adam Dunn, despite hitting only .236, has cranked out 32 homers. Boston’s big deadline pickup has worked out wonderfully, as Bruce Sutter (3-1, 8 SV, 3.63) has been lights out, posting a 0.87 ERA and earning 6 saves since the deadline. New York went 13-15 in August and its deadline deals have helped, despite the record. Doug Waechter has gone 3-1 with a 3.26 ERA since coming to New York. But Joe Kelley was put on the DL after his second game in a Heroes uniform, the victim of a strained rib cage. He has just now returned. Louisville went 13-16 on the month, and perhaps no team has seen its trade deadline moves blow up in their face in PBL history more than Louisville. Jim Rice won Player of the Week honors twice during the month and was named Batter of the Month for his new team, the Charlotte Cougars. Rice slammed 14 homers and drove in 32 runs while batting .313. The man he was traded for, Turkey Stearnes, hit .272 with 4 homers and 19 RBI.  Louisville is missing Jim Rice But it didn’t stop there. Joe Coleman went 2-3 with a 5.32 ERA, and has been booed mercilessly as the man acquired for Richie Ashburn. All Ashburn did was bat .284 with 5 homers, 13 RBI and 14 walks for a .366 OBP, scoring 22 runs in the process. Add to that Dick Allen tearing ligaments in his ankle shortly after being acquired and missing a month and you have a problem that could be termed a disaster should Louisville miss out on the division title. “They are going to regret that move for years,” a rival executive said of Louisville. “I like Julio [Villegas, Louisville’s general manager], but this deadline stuff could cost him his job.” Philadelphia’s acquisition of Red Munger has worked out nicely. Munger has gone 4-2 with a 2.81 ERA since coming over from Boston, though Jason Thompson has thrived in the DH slot with the Riders (.321-6-23 since the deal). The Ringers, though, have been felled by injuries to Cal Ripken (.253-14-52) and Carl Furillo (.295-7-43), who is done for the year with a herniated disc. After Boston wraps up its 4-game set in New York (they’ve dropped 2 of the first 3), they play 8 games against the West before a 10-game intradivision homestand against Charlotte, Philadelphia and New York before heading to the road against Louisville before a 4-game set in Chicago to end the season. New York will play 4 in Boston and 3 in Philly in the second half of the month before closing out with 4 at home against Charlotte, giving them an advantage if they can get to that series with a lead. Louisville has the toughest road, literally, playing 17 of their last 26 away from home. But Philly has an argument there as well as, while only playing 13 on the road, they come in a single road trip mid-month. The Pennant Race is on! RUTH’S INJURY ENDS HOME RUN CHASE A disappointing season in Chicago had one saving grace…the excitement of watching slugger Babe Ruth chase the PBL home run mark of 51. Ruth's HR chase is over That thrill is gone. The Hitmen announced yesterday that Ruth’s season could be over after he broke his foot slamming into the wall on a defensive play. “Right now, he can’t put any pressure on it,” manager Pants Rowland said. “It’s important to him, and we’d love to see him get it. But we can’t risk him. If he says he can go, we’ll discuss it. Ruth has slammed 46 homers so far this season and seemed a lock to pass the mark. NORTHERN LEAGUE NOTES
 Lary Sorensen inked a 5-year deal
GEHRIG SHATTERS HITTING STREAK RECORD The incredible rookie season of Lou Gehrig seems to know no limits. Gehrig hit safely in 53 straight! At the end of July, Gehrig’s hitting streak stood at 31 games, three shy of Tim Raines’ PBL mark of 34. Three days later, he tied Raines with a second-inning single off Memphis’ Brian Lawrence. The next day, Gehrig singled in the first off Memphis’ Jose Santiago to set the mark at 35. Then he kept going…and going…and going. On August 24, Gehrig’s hit streak was still intact…at 53 games! After being retired his first two times up, Gehrig was walked in the 5th by Los Angeles lefty Bob Ojeda. The Idols were leading 9-1 at the time, making the walk distasteful and prompting chirps from the Las Vegas dugout. In the top of the 7th, Ojeda walked Gehrig again, this time on four pitches. In the 9th, Gehrig faced lefty reliever Billy McCool. But Gehrig popped up to first, ending the streak at 53 games. After the game, the media asked about the walks. Ojeda wasn’t having any of it. “He took a strike and fouled one back before the first walk,” Ojeda said. “I lost my control in the 7th and walked two guys before him in the inning, so there’s nothing to that. Heck, the crowd wanted to see it. He had four chances as far as I’m concerned. That’s not our fault.” Gehrig, to his credit, didn’t complain. “I’ve been very fortunate,” he said. “A few bloops and bleeders along the way. I didn’t get those today. The only complaint is about the loss.” SOUTHERN LEAGUE PENNANT RACE The Northern League East is where much of the attention is, but the Southern League East has a fun race in its own right, with four teams within 7 ½ games.For all their blemishes, the Alabama Airmen continue to hold on. Their offense is still poor, and pitching is erratic. Yet they lead the way. After being laughed at once Luis DeLeon got hurt shortly after the Airmen traded George Brett for him, DeLeon has come back and been perfect in six appearances, saving five in the process. That’s the good news. The bad news is that ace Dan Haren (11-5, 3.63) has been shelved with shoulder problems. In St. Louis, the Tides went 11-18, failing to capitalize on Alabama’s struggles. Their pitching remains tops in the league, but the Tides need to start picking up timely hits during this stretch drive to repeat as division champions. Duke Snider (.256-21-105) has topped 100 RBI for the third straight season. The surging team is the Orlando Orcas, who after a 17-11 month find themselves only 4 ½ games out of first. Rusty Staub was simply unconscious during the month, batting .423 with 6 homers and 28 RBI with a 1.182 OPS for the month.  Rusty Staub raked for Orlando Memphis went 10-17, and in so doing kept themselves 7 ½ games back, a number that without Tim Lincecum (shoulder) and the injured Tony Perez looks daunting. A pleasant surprise, though, is Ed Delahanty (.271-15-69), having his best season since 2013 with Alabama. From the 19th through the 25th, Orlando hosts Alabama and St. Louis for back-to-back three-game sets. Much of the division could be decided there. HONUS WAGNER’S RESURGENCE Just when you thought he was done. Born again: Honus Wagner has been revitalized Honus Wagner has come back from his early season shoulder injury and played the best he has in years. Wagner is batting .297 with 3 homers, 65 RBI and 10 steals for Oklahoma City. “I feel great,” Wagner said. “I love this game, and the last few years have been wasted. So now I’m trying to make up for lost time.” Wagner’s 34 and a free agent after this season. He may be playing for a contract, but that’s not his focus right now. “I’m just glad to show I can still do it.” SOUTHERN LEAGUE NOTES

Going to abandon the day-by-day pennant race coverage and just write it up in the monthly review. Next issue forthcoming.
I'll do game-by-game for the postseason, though. |

2019 Recap - September Pennant Races We'll get to other notes from the month, but the pennant races get their own issue here. NORTHERN LEAGUE PENNANT RACES The real pressure was in the East, where as the month began four teams were within 5 games of each other. By the time we reached September 15, the New York Heroes had overtaken the Boston Riders to inch a game ahead and Boston had been forced to deal with losing Steve Carlton for the rest of the regular season with back trouble. The Louisville Racers had fallen 5 ½ back and the Philadelphia Ringers had seen their hopes at a repeat division title abandon them, falling 8 games back.  Boston lost Steve Carlton to injury down the stretch The Racers had taken the first two games of a 4-game set in New York. Joe Coleman the starter, acquired at the deadline, went 8 solid innings in the series opener. Joe Coleman the reliever - yes, the Racers have both Joe Coleman's - got the win, after a Joe Jackson 10th inning SAC Fly off Rick Sutcliffe broke a 7-7 tie. Dick Allen then walloped a homer in the 10th the next day off the virtually untouchable Tom Niedenfeur to give the Racers back-to-back extra inning wins. But the Heroes took the final games of the set, riding a 2-homer game from Sam Wise to win Game 3 and a pinch-hit 8th inning 2-run shot from Bill Hinchman off Eppa Rixey for a 3-2 win in the finale to keep Louisville from gaining any ground. The Heroes then swept the Sacramento Stingers leading into their 4-game set with the Boston Riders, while Boston dropped 2 of 3 at home to Philadelphia, now relegated for all intents and purposes to the role of spoiler. Boston was shutout by Ed Walsh and Red Munger in the final two games of the series. That week’s events made Boston’s taking 3 of 4 against New York a necessity for the Riders, and a disappointment but not a disaster for the Heroes, who still held a two-game lead at the series’ end. Boston went on to drop 2 of 3 at Louisville, while New York took 2 of 3 in Philadelphia to give the Heroes a 3-game lead with four remaining. Both New York and Boston won the openers of their series against Charlotte and Chicago, respectively. But on Sept. 27, behind a John Lackey 3-hitter and a 16-hit attack, the Heroes knocked off Charlotte 12-0, and in so doing clinched their first division title since 2014.  John Lackey clinched the division for New York SOUTHERN LEAGUE PENNANT RACES That left us in the East, where the four-team margin was 7 ½ instead of the 5 up North, but tight nonetheless. The Alabama Airmen swept Oklahoma City and took 2 of 3 in Los Angeles to start the month, serving notice they were not about to relinquish their division lead without a fight. They had gained 3 games on the St. Louis Tides, opening their lead up to six games over St. Louis, which was battered in a 3-game sweep in Las Vegas by Lou Gehrig (8-for-14, 6 runs, 8 RBI) and Jackie Robinson (4-for-12, 3 runs, 5 RBI).  Jackie Robinson interrupted St. Louis' run at the division crown But in that opening week, St. Louis had been leapfrogged by the young upstarts in Orlando, where the Orcas opened the month 6-2 to get within 4. The Memphis Strummers, holding on to their longshot hopes, we done by mid-month, going 5-8 over the first two weeks to fall 10 games back with 3 teams to leap. The St. Louis Tides swept Alabama in a 3-game set as part of a 5-game win streak that thrust them back into the forefront, as Orlando went cold at the same time, getting swept in Oklahoma City before dropping 3 of 4 at home against the Airmen. With 7 games left, Alabama held a 2 game lead over St. Louis and a 5 game lead over Orlando. Alabama got exactly what it wanted when Orlando took 2 of 3 against the visiting Tides, while the Airmen took 2 of 3 in New Orleans. Orlando had run out of time despite an inspiring late-season surge. But the Tides hung tough and, when Orlando dropped the first two of their season-ending four game set hosting last place Arizona, the Tides responded by taking the first two in New Orleans to get within one. On Sept. 28, the Tides fell 10-3 as Virgil Trucks was blasted for 7 runs and the Knights clubbed four homers, including two by Chad Tracy. The Tides then retreated to the TV set to watch Alabama host Arizona, where Kyle Lohse threw 8 innings of 3-run ball and Buddy Kerr picked up 3 hits as the Airmen knocked off Arizona 7-4 to eliminate the Tides and claim their first division title in franchise history.  Kyle Lohse took the hill for Alabama as they won their first division title CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES MATCHUPS  vs  New York Heroes (90-72) vs Indianapolis Engines (94-68)  vs  Alabama Airmen (84-78) vs Los Angeles Idols (106-56) |

I'm loving the new recaps with the images. Very well done. I think I've become an Alabama Airmen fan. Hopefully they can upset the Idols.

Alabama beating Los Angeles, who put up the second best season in PBL history, would be a MONUMENTAL upset. But that's why we play the games. |

When I was little, before all the sabermetric stuff (which I'm all for) came into play, the newspapers used to every Sunday run a full list of hitters and pitchers with qualifying plate appearances or innings. I loved checking out that list. So that's where the next post comes from, a season end alphabetical list of all the qualifiers with their basic stats.

Ha, I would spend hours reading those lists in the Sunday papers. I loved seeing who was last on the list.
