4-Way Pennant Tie
For the first time in my very long OOTP playing career, I've seen a pennant race end in the four-way tie.St. Louis, Detroit, Washington and Boston all ended the season deadlocked at 87-67, with my Red Sox blowing a 6-1 ninth inning lead over the seventh place White Sox to fritter away their chance at winning the pennant outright.
The game handled the situation ok; a two-tiered playoff of Boston vs. Washington and Detroit vs. St. Louis in one-game playoffs, with the winners advancing to face each other for the pennant. I'm thrilled with the excitement of this year's game; thanks for putting out another great edition! |

Wow, fantastic outcome. I guess every regular season game can be more meaningful than you thought.

Mon 9/26: Clev @ Bos, NYY @ Chic Tue 927: Clev/Bos winner @ NYY/Chic winner Not exactly sure which year they flipped (I probably have that somewhere) but by the 60's the AL joined the NL in going with best-of-three tiebreakers as the standard. In both 1964 & 1967, the AL drew up plans to bust a two-way tie with a best-of-three, and a three-way tie with a four-, possibly five-game, round-robin (followed by a best-of-three)... Also in '64, the NL had the possibility of two, three, and four way ties. They would've handled a two-way and three-way essentially the same as the AL. A four-way would've featured a pair of best-of-threes, followed by another best-of-three... By '69, with the onset of the divisional series, one-game playoffs became the standard. |

White Sox and Yankees won in the first round
The Yankees then clinched, and went on to win the WS. Last edited by Mat; 09-07-2020 at 04:34 AM. |

I've got an amazing race going on this season in my fictional league's version of the the AL Central. What makes it even more exciting is I had a special 165-game interleague schedule made for this league by one of the mods in which the season is broken up into two "sections". The second of these, which begins after a very late ASB, involves only intradivisional games. About halfway through this is how it looks and there have been more lead changes than in the final round at the Masters. All three of the NL divisions are close too, and of course the WCs are both still well up for grabs so it's easily been the most entertaining of the 14 seasons so far. |
