You left off the Expos/Nationals.

Also, I think when Senators I left for Minnesota and Senators 2 came in as an expansion team, the records stayed in DC. Those records went to Texas when they left town after 1972.

Thanks for the correction- I was doing this at work and was toggling between sites. I completely forgot about the Expos, egregiously, as the other team not to be in the World Series with the Seattle Mariners (who also never made it as the 1969 "Pilots" franchise, but are also part of the Brewers record.) Being that the Nationals were one strike away in this postseason, I should have remembered them, too. My apologies.

The information I used associated Senators (I) with the Twins and carried over their records. Senators (2) became a "new" franchise, which technically never made a series, then got transplanted as the Rangers. So, yes, I considered them.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Who will be #5
Mickey Stanley?
Jim Northrup?
Gates Brown?
Willie Horton?
Mickey Lolich?
Denny McLain?
Earl Wilson?
or the unforgettable Joe Sparma?

Hey, I liked the 68 team, since they beat the hated Cardinals who beat my beloved Red Sox the previous year.

Actually Hammer is using uniform numbers. Jim Northrup wore #5 IIRC. The most famous #5 IMO would be Hank Greenberg The Tigers had the number retired in 1983.

Sorry to jump off-topic but I've always thought the Twins have failed in not honoring accomplishments of the franchises' pre-MN days. In particular, the fact Walter Johnson's impact on the game is not celebrated in any MLB park* is a crime. The Twins should retire his number.....if MLB would allow.

*maybe the Nats have & I'm not aware.

Good luck in the series, would love to see another AL Central team win it!

It's pretty obvious who #5 (and #6, for that matter) will be. I have to make sure I have my list for when we get to #7. I think I've got the first 50 laid out.

EDIT: I found the list. The next one that will throw people through a loop will be #8.

I completely agree about Walter Johnson.

Thanks for the well wishes... the team appears to have shown their total potential in the Yankee series, especially game 4. Hope the time off doesn't stop that.

Yeah, I'll have to investigate that one. ;)
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Oh, I expect that you'll find it pretty quickly. :p
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Dirks in RF and twinkle toes Young in LF in the NL stadium games. Looks like Leyland is leaving Boesch off the roster again, and no changes to the pitchers.
I'd lean towards Berry in LF myself, but I am more apt to play for a run instead of a big inning in their park.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Valverde gives up two singles, a walk, and only gets two outs before hitting his pitch count in the Tigers scrimmage today. Time for Villareal to be on the WS roster.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

Game 7 in the NL tonight. Who you got? And who do you want? And if the answer isn't the same, why?

Giants for two reasons: boss is a Giants fan, and I want no part of the 747-sized horseshoe that has been surgically implanted in the Cardinals' collective asses.

That said, I think the Cards win it precisely because of said horseshoe. This is exactly what they do.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

I've got to believe that at some point, midnight strikes for the Cards. And in a short series, I want no part of Cain/Lincecum/Vogelsong, healthy Lincecum or otherwise. I can just imagine what they're going to do with our lineup once we get past Fielder.

Maybe, but the bottom of the line up is what beat ny if you ask me. I wish Boesch had been better as the season went on, and Villereal is not ready for the pressure. I would love to see Valverde come in and get two outs in a non pressure situation. He has to start back somehow. I wish I knew why his splitter has deserted him.

Same as I was with Yankees-Os. Honestly don't care as long as the Tigers are in it. The last thing I ever want is to be the '06 Twins throwing a big party just because you draw a specific opponent in the playoffs, only to have them sweep you away.

I still think Valverde is injured. Mix in the fact that his velocity is off 3-4 MPH, and he doesn't want to throw/doesn't have control of the splitter. Smoke and fire...

Looks like midnight came tonight for the Cards.
 
Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 4: The Rudy York edition

I'm thinking this series is going 6 or 7 games. That's about it. If the Tigers can avoid the "deer in the headlights" play they exhibited in St.Louis in 2006, they'll be okay.

In other news, our good friend Joel Zumaya is in town fishing on lake St. Clair for small mouth bass. I hope he doesn't break something casting.

:p:D:D

FWIW, the Twins had beaten the A's in 2002, and we all know how the Twins fare against the Yankees.

Either way, I'll be rooting for Detroit in the Series, so good luck Tigers and bring home the title.
