Jim Britt - 1877

khy102 · 12-17-2011, 11:07 AM

I started in 1871 and I'm simming up to 1882/83 to take over for the "Phillies" when they join the league.

I was going through some of the menus and came across Jim Britt in 1877.

He won Player of the Week 9 times, and Pitcher of the month every month, plus the Outstanding Pitcher Award. His stats are off the wall for that year.

Just thought I'd share. Probably a wins record that won't be broken, but you never know.

Just simmed 1878.

Jim Britt 38 - 17 record. 1.51 ERA, and 292 K's

I have started/restarted my historical sim (until I am right with how I play the game... Not an expert but can now recognise good/bad lineups/rotations to actually get a good team to win).

And in every sim, J. Britt is a pitcher to have. He doesn't do HOF numbers but always a solid starter. Interesting as his real life career wasn't that illustrious.

Conversly Al Spalding has done no more than mediocre in those sims. Unsure why, he just refuses to throw for me...
