I remove all the fans at Shibe-it is the only way it works for me. lol - I'm glad you enjoy it as much as I do. two questions: 1. how do you remove the fans? 2. have you tried it at any other parks or have any reason to believe it wouldn't work elsewhere? sometimes i think that i'd rather have the stadium empty than look at the crappy fan-job EA did...

Sam Bankhead drives in his fourth run of the day with a bloop single in the third. The Crawfords were stellar in all phases of the game today, from offense to pitching to defense. In the field, they made quite a few spectacular plays, with two standing out above the rest: (left) Jimmy Crutchfield robs Eddie Robinson of a sure double in the second inning and (right) Judy Johnson snags a line drive from Dale Mitchell in the fourth. For good measure, Josh Gibson added three more Crawford runs in the fourth to give Pittsburgh a commanding 7-0 lead. Satchel Paige was phenomenal today, allowing just four hits while striking out four in a shutout effort.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Pool 3, Round 3 Gullett Outduels Clemens 1-0 In Rain Shortened Game With clouds hovering ominously, fans frantically searched for their seats in anticipation of a true classic matchup. The early innings went by quickly as both pitchers were on fire, allowing just a few random hits each through four innings. In the bottom of the fifth, with more clouds coming to see the affair, the first - and only - mistake was made. With Pete Rose at the plate, Roger Clemens hung a 2-0 curveball letter high that Rose deposit- ed high up in the jet stream. Almost on cue, the rain started to fall. Wanting to see the game through, the umpires waited as long as they could until a downpour started in the seventh inning. When Tino Martinez "grounded" out to the catcher to end the top of the seventh (the ball stuck in the mud in front of home plate), it was ob- vious that the game needed to be stopped. After two hours passed, with only a few fans left in the stands, the game was officially called, giving Cincinnati the 1-0 victory and a birth in Pool 3's Final Four. Derek Jeter makes a spectacular diving catch on a line drive by Ken Griffey in the first inning. Pete Rose rounds first after blasting a mistake from Roger Clemens in the fifth inning. Both pitchers were on their game today, with the only mistake coming from Roger Clemens (left) in the fifth inning. Clemens allowed four hits and one run while striking out three while Dave Gullett (right) allowed five hits and struck out two.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Pool 3, Round 3 Pedro Yankees' Daddy In 5-1 Victory Pedro Martinez struck out the side in the first inning and never looked back. After giving up the lone Yankees run in the third on a single by Tim Raines, Martinez cruised to victory going six innings while allowing just one run on one hit while striking out eleven. The Yankees, like Tino Martinez in the first inning, were a step behind the Expos all game as they were out-hit 16-2 today in a 5-1 loss. Tim Raines drove in the only Yankee run in the third inning, scoring Joe Girardi on a single to center. Moises Alou had a big game, going 3-5 with a home run and two RBI. Here, Alou watches his fourth inning blast that gave Montreal a 2-1 lead that they wouldn't surrender. Larry Walker (left) and Moises Alou (right) celebrate Montreal's birth into the Final Four.

But this was a great game with a great finish (Hory and Trues won't like it) and I screwed up when extracting the box score. So the recap isn't going to be as good as I hoped.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Pool 3, Round 3 Coakley Implodes In Relief As Pirates Power Into Final Four With 7-2 Victory Honus Wagner got the fireworks started early with a two run home run in the first inning. Joe Tinker finally got the Cubs on the board in the sixth inning with a solo shot to left. The Cubs picked up one more run in the sixth on a sacrifice fly by Harry Steinfeldt, scoring Frank Chance (pictured) to tie the game 2-2. It looked as if the game would go into extra innings until Chicago decided to lift Mordecai Brown with one out in the eighth. Reliever Andy Coakley was brought in and immediately surrendered a home run to Fred Clarke (pictured) for a 3-2 Pittsburgh lead. The next batter, Honus Wagner, doubled to left center before being driven in by Dots Miller. Having given up three straight hits, Coakley allowed an- other single to the fourth batter he faced, Chief Wilson. With runners now on first and second, Bill Abstein was next in line. Abstein didn't waste time in add- ing to Coakley's misery, blasting the first pitch for a three run shot to left for a 7-2 Pirate lead. Coakley would finally be pulled after allowing five straight hits - two home runs - and five earned runs.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Pool 3, Final Four Big Red Machine Too Much For Paige, Crawfords In 7-4 Loss George Foster opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning. In the fourth, Reds pitcher Don Gullett helps his own cause with a RBI single to left, scoring George Foster for a 4-0 lead. Jimmy Crutchfield puts the Crawfords on the board in the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run to center. Cool Papa Bell scores in the fifth on a single by SazPare Augustine to bring Pittsburgh within two, 4-2. George Foster and the Reds were a step ahead of the Crawfords all day. After Pittsburgh pulled with- in two, Foster hit his second home run of the day for a 5-2 Cincinnati lead. The Crawfords had two big chances to get the score in their favor, but fell short each time. The first such instance came in the bottom of the sixth inning. After the Crawfords loaded the bases with two singles and a walk, Sam Bankhead (pictured) drew a walk of his own, scoring Josh Gibson. Gullett was then able to induce a pop up by Judy Johnson and got pinch hitter Rap Dixon swinging for a quick two outs. Cool Papa Bell would get one more run home with a single before Gullett got SazPare Augustine swinging to end the inning, keeping the Reds ahead 5-4. The second chance for Pittsburgh came in the bottom of the ninth. The Crawfords loaded the bases in the ninth with two outs, bringing the winning run to the plate in the form of Boojum Wilson (pic- tured). Rawly Eastwick and Wilson battled, but Eastwick won in the end as a fly out to left was all Wilson could muster in a 7-4 Cincinnati victory.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Pool 3, Final Four Wild Pitch In The Eleventh Inning Sends Pittsburgh Into Finals Larry Walker (pictured) singles in the first inning, advancing Moises Alou to third with two outs. Alou would score on a single by Sean Berry and Walker would come home on a double by Cliff Floyd, giving Montreal an early 2-0 lead. Darrin Fletcher homers in the fourth to give the Expos a 3-0 advantage. Fred Clarke robs Wil Cordero of extra bases in the top of the sixth inning. Tommy Leach connects for a three run home run in the sixth, tying the game for the Pirates. The game remained tied 3-3 until the bottom of the eleventh inning. Tommy Leach led off the frame for Pittsburgh with a single up the middle. After Leach stole second, Fred Clarke was intentionally walked to bring Honus Wagner up with no outs. After fighting off a few pitches, Wagner buried one into the plate. (Right) Montreal pitcher John Wetteland charged in but bobbled the ball, allowing everyone to reach safely. With the bases now loaded with nobody out, Wetteland induced a pop up from Dots Miller to bring Chief Wilson to the plate with one out. (Right) On the first pitch to Wilson, Wetteland bounced a breaking ball past catcher Darrin Fletcher. On the alert at third, Tommy Leach tore for home before the ball hit Fletcher, reading the play perfectly. Leach would slide home before a play could be made, giving Pittsburgh a birth in the Pool 3 Finals.

Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and the rest of the "Big Red Machine" will attempt to outduel a Pirates pitching staff that posted a 2.07 team ERA in 1909. It won't be easy for Honus Wagner and the Pirates offense either though as they have to defeat Don Gullett, who went 15-4 in 1975 with a 2.42 ERA - good enough for a fifth place finish in the Cy Young race (won by Tom Seaver).
