Baseball Revisited

1969 Northside G-Force-Final Two Series

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Kevin Graham

This is an ongoing series of posts documenting my online baseball simulation team, the Northside G-Force, on their quest to win the 1969 GAPL Championship, along with the successes and struggles of my all-time favorite player, Bobby Murcer.

The 78-76 Northside G-Force play their final 8 games of the season, 4 games out of wildcard contention. We need to go 5-3 to have any chance to make the playoffs.

GAME #1

A brutal loss for the G-Force. Pat Dobson takes a 4 hitter and a 3-1 lead into the 8th inning. Roy White crushes an rbi triple for the Lakers to bring them within 1 run. In the bottom of the 9th Roy White wins it for the Lakers with a walk-off single.

GAME #3

Why does Roy White hate me so much? A 2 out 2 run single in the bottom of the 9th gives the Lakers their 3rd straight 1 run victory, and officially eliminates the G-Force from the playoffs.

Bobby Murcer-Mr Clutch

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Kevin Graham

As a life long Bobby Murcer fan I always believed that Murcer never really got enough credit as the greatest Yankee/baseball player ever. Thanks to an article that I found written by William Tasker over at It’s About The Money it seems that I may be right.

In a posting titled: Bobby Murcer-WPA Hero, Tasker fills us in on the greatest baseball stat ever, Win Probability Added(WPA) It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Bobby Murcer was the most clutch hitter in baseball since 1945. Check out the article, and you too will better appreciate the greatness that is Bobby Murcer.

Another 4 game split, making it a lucky 13 series in a row. With only 8 games left in the season, the G-Force are 3 games out of the Wild Card. It’s not looking too promising.

GAME #3

I’m guessing that the G-Boys tired themselves out running the bases the last 2 games, as they managed just 2 hits in a game they could have easily won.

GAME #4

Denny McLain won his 22nd game, and the Rhinos embarrassed the G-Force banging out 23 hits. McLain had 3 hits and 4 rbi. Seriously, how does Denny McLain get 3 hits in a game? Reggie Jackson did manage to hit his GAPL record breaking 53rd home run.

Nothing new. Another 4 game split, that makes 11 in a row. 12 games left in the season, and 3 games out of the Wild Card. The G-Force need to win 8 of those games to have any chance.

1969 Northside G-Force-Series #40

Posted on June 8, 2013 by Kevin Graham

G-Force Logo

The 72-70 Northside G-Force take on the 72-70 Greenville Catfish in a 4 game series at Shea Stadium.

GAME #1

The Catfish jump on the usually reliable Gary Gentry, and the hopelessly pathetic Rollie Fingers for 8 runs in the 1st 4 innings. Reggie Jackson dropped a 2 out bases loaded flyball in the 1st to set the tone for this game. The G-Force battled back, but Reggie Smith grounded out to end the game with the tying runs on base.

The streak is still alive. 10 straight 4 game splits for the G-Force. Still just 2 games out of the playoffs. With just 16 games left in the season, only 1 team is mathematically eliminated from the Playoffs, with 12 teams still very much alive. It should be a wild finish. The G-Force will be playing all 4 teams that are currently ahead of them in the standings. It won’t be easy.

Why Yes, I Have Been Published In A Major Sports Magazine

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Kevin Graham

There have been many noteworthy moments in my life, events that all men should experience at least once. The birth of a child, hitting a game winning home run, getting your letter published in Penthouse Forums. I’ll not soon forget the thrill of reading my words in a major men’s publication. “Dear Penthouse Forums, I never thought this would ever happen to me, but…….” Ah, the memories to be cherished.

But the ultimate achievement for this humble, yet completely insignificant baseball blogger had to be when my literary prose was recognized by the greatest sports periodical ever. Stacey Augmon, Basketball, UNLV Runnin' Rebels

Thanks to the Sports Illustrated Vault we now have online access to every Sports Illustrated ever published, dating back to 1954, its 1st year of publication.

Pictured is the Nov 11, 1990 Sports Illustrated featuring the College basketball preview. By clicking this link and scrolling down to the heading Graveyard Ball you’ll be able to read and enjoy my wonderful prose.

Let me just say upfront, thank you all for the kind words that will surely come my way. I’m just a common scribe trying to make the world a better place, one word at a time. Your praise and adulation, though necessary, is still greatly appreciated.

Moonlight Graham Meets Shoeless Joe?

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Kevin Graham

I just finished reading Chasing Moonlight: The True Story of Field of Dreams, Doc Graham by Brett Friedlander and Robert Reising. If you’re a fan of either the movie, Field of Dreams, or Shoeless Joe by WP Kinsella, then you’ll enjoy getting to know the real Moonlight Graham. Actually, if you’re just a fan of baseball history, then you’ll enjoy this book as well.

It’s amazing how someone can play just 1 1/2 innings of baseball without even getting an at bat, and still become a baseball legend. Even more amazing, when that person actually lives up to that legend. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham deserves this book, and deserves his place as a baseball legend.

Some things I learned about Moonlight Graham from this book:

We are not related.
He is a distant cousin to televangelist Billy Graham
WP Kinsella stumbled on his baseball encyclopedia page while doing research for his book Shoeless Joe. He loved the nickname.
He played 4 seasons with my hometown Scranton Miners of the New York State League.
He hit .335 with the Miners in 1905, winning the NY State League batting title.
He played 8 seasons of Minor league baseball.
He was a left-handed hitter, unlike his movie counterpart.
His younger brother Frank Porter Graham was approached by FDR to be his vice-presidential running mate in 1936. He turned him down.
While at the University of North Carolina he was a member of the football and baseball team, as well as the Shakespeare Club.
He received his medical degree from the University of Maryland.
He set up a medical practice in Scranton, but left do to health problems. Eventually settling in Chisholm, Minnesota.
His lone game came on June 29, 1905. He actually spent a couple of weeks with the NY Giants before being sent to the Scranton Miners.
Married Alecia Madden in September of 1915. They had no children.
Became the Chisholm school physician in 1917. He retired in 1960.
His 15 year blood pressure study of adolescent children is still published in modern medical books.
Spent years trying to build a perpetual motion device.
He died on Aug. 25, 1965. Alecia passed away in 1981 at the age of 95.
In a 1963 interview he stated that he walked in his only at bat, and then broke his leg while stealing 2nd.
Moonlight Graham may have actually played in a barnstorming game against Shoeless Joe Jackson in the mid 1920’s. After his suspension from baseball, Jackson made money by barnstorming around the country. Playing a game in Chisholm, Jackson came to bat with the bases loaded in the 9th inning. He sent a drive deep into the outfield, only to have Doc Graham run down the drive to save the game for Chisholm. There is no definitive proof that this actually happened, but for the purposes of this post, let’s say it did.

1969 Northside G-Force- Series #39

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Kevin Graham

G-Force Logo

The 70-68 G-Force take on the 60-78 Brew City Barons in a 4 game series at Yankee Stadium.

GAME #1

A 5-3 G-Force lead in the 9th is no match for the suckiness of Rollie Fingers this season. A 2 run home run by Billy Cowan off Fingers wins it for the Beer Barons. It was Cowan’s 1st at bat of the season.

Billy Cowan hit .167 for the 1969 Yankees. He’s a superstar against Rollie Fingers.

GAME #2

Pat Dobson took a no hitter into the 8th inning for the G-Force. The baseball force that is Coco Laboy doubled to lead off the 8th to break up the no-no. He scored the Barons’ 1st run on a 2 out single from Curt Flood. Unfortunately for the G-Boys they decided not to hit in this game as well, because that rbi tied the game. Joe Pepitone homered in the 9th for the game winner. An unusual loss for the G-Force as neither Wayne Granger or Rollie Fingers figured in the loss.

GAME #3

Rollie Fingers coughs up a 2 run lead in the 9th. A 6.09 ERA is truly remarkable. Luckily after the 1st 2 G-Force get out, they managed a come back. Reggie Jackson doubled in Reggie Smith to tie the game, and as it’s happened so many times this season, the computer intentionally walks the .240+ hitting Murcer to face the .300+ hitting Tommy Helms. Helms laced another clutch hit for the game winner.

GAME #4

The G-Force enter the 8th inning down 3-0, but rally to tie the game. Once again, Bobby Murcer is intentionally walked in front of Tommy Helms, and once again he comes through with a clutch 2 rbi single to knot the score at 3. Reggie Jackson hits a walk-off 2 run home run, his 51st in the 10th.

9 straight 4 game splits for the G-Force. If Fingers and Granger had pitched to their 69 stats my team would be in 1st place by at least 4 games. As it stands we are 3 games out of the wild card with 20 games to play.

1969 Northside G-Force- Series #38

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Kevin Graham

G-Force Logo

The 68-66 G-Force take on the 62-72 Mayan Knights in a 4 game series at Yankee Stadium.

GAME #1

With just 1 month left in the season, we are playing with expanded rosters. Any player not over their playing limit is now active. Luckily for me my buddy Wayne Granger is back on the team, and he didn’t disappoint. 1/3 of an inning, 4 hits and 3 runs in the 9th inning, giving the Knights a 4-3 lead. Luckily Ron Blomberg made his debut a successful one, lining a pinch hit single to lead off the 9th. He scored the tying run on a Ted Kubiak sac fly. In the 11th, Lou Piniella tripled and scored on Bob Didier game winning single.

In his 7 seasons with the Yankees, Blomberg hit .302.

GAME #3

Cal Dalrymple hit 3 home runs, that’s right, Clay freakin’ Dalrymple. Two 2 run shots, a grand slam, and an rbi single add up to 9 rbis for the game. How is that possible?

Dalrymple hit just 3 home runs in 1969, driving in 6 runs. WTF!
