1930 AL and NL League Leaders (Updated)


Update:

I must admit I really hadn't given much thought to pinch-hit homeruns, no-hitters, or hutting for the cycle when I started this, but they were events that occurred and were worth noting. And of course, I then neglected to include them in my initial publishing, so here they are:

Regrading Pitchers

It is common practice for APBA players do institute some sort of pitching regrades as part of their replay. There are many different systems out there for doing this, but they all require a bit of legwork, a spreadsheet (hopefully), and a way to manually update the pitcher's grade in the player's database. The August 1990 APBA Journal included an article named " New Way to Make Weighted Average Pitching Grades for Master/Computer Game ." This process is broken down into a step-by-step process below. The best and easiest way to get the basic pitching stats into a spreadsheet is to go to http://baseball-reference.com , search for the season you are looking for, and dump the pitching stats into a spreadsheet. This would be the time to perform any maintenance on the data (Hint: convert thirds of innings from .1's and .2's to .33's and .67's - it will make the math later much better) You will most likely want to grade the NL and AL pitchers by the leagu...

1930 World Series

https://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1930_WS.shtml It's all come down to this. The 1930 Philadelphia A's were a little slow out of the chute in the regular season but they got going before mid-season and they easily rolled to the American League pennant. The 1930 St. Louis Cardinals were in a bit more of a dogfight in the National League, but they got healthy late and got hot with a month to go in the season and roared down the stretch to capture the NL pennant. These two teams were clearly the best in their respective leagues and now it was time for the fall classic. No multiple rounds of playoffs, just the two best teams going at it, and getting started quickly. The last day of the regular season was on a Sunday, the first game of the World Series coming on a Wednesday. A two-day respite will come in handy for both teams as they will meet in Philadelphia to get things started. Let's Play Ball, and may the best team win. Wednesday, October 1, 1930 ...

Week 20 (08/25/1930 - 08/31/1930)

Monday, August 25, 1930 There are a couple of light days coming up due to travel. It will take a couple of days to sort it out, but the Midwest teams in both leagues will be facing each other, while the eastern teams in both leagues will do likewise. St. Louis (AL) 3 Detroit (H) 2 Detroit Hurler Tommy Bridges (0-1) made his first ML start today. He gave up a run in the first and in the second, but settled down after that, not allowing another run until the top of the seventh. Unfortunately for Bridges, Dick Coffman (10-16) kept the Tigers off the scoreboard until the seventh and the Browns won in a close one. Philadelphia (AL) (H) 3 Washington 0 After a single game in Washington yesterday the two teams took a train to Philadelphia for games today and tomorrow. Lefty Grove (27-2) held the Nationals to three hits and center fielder Bing Miller drove in two runs with a double and a homerun to give Grove the run support he needed. Miller has 94 RBI's on the ...
