Total Classics 1948
By kyleb
 
The 1948 baseball season saw many surprising events, new records, the death of Babe Ruth, and a few close calls.  Baseball came within one game of having an all-Boston World Series in 1948, as the Braves went 91-62 to take the National League flag by 6 1/2 games over St. Louis, and the Red Sox finished the regular season tied with Cleveland at 96-58.
 
The star of the National League was 27-year-old, second-time MVP Stan Musial, who turned in the finest all-around year of his career.  "Stan the Man" led the National League in batting, runs, RBI, hits, total bases, doubles, triples, on base average and slugging.  He came within one home run of leading the National League in every major offensive category.
 
The Braves were led by Bob Elliott -- who hit 23 homers and drew 131 walks, and .300 hitters Eddie Stanky, Al Dark, Tommy Holmes, Mike McCormick, and Jeff Heath.  On the pitching side, the Boston fans' cry was "Spahn and Sain and two days of rain."  Johnny Sain went 24-15 to lead the National League in wins, complete games and innings.
 
Warren Spahn, 27, went 15-12 with 16 complete games and 257 innings.  No other Braves pitcher won more than 13 games.  Apparently, there were enough rain-outs that Boston led the National League in team ERA, complete games, and fewest walks allowed.
 
The American League race was still up for grabs at the All-Star break with Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York and Boston vying for the title.  New York's Joe DiMaggio led the American League in home runs, and the Yanks' Tommy Henrich led in runs and triples.  As the second half wore on, however, the best hitting team, Boston, and the best pitching team, Cleveland, rose to the top.
 
The Red Sox featured batting champion Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky, who was tied with Williams for third in the American League in runs.  Williams batted .369, but lost out in the MVP voting to Cleveland shortstop Lou Boudreau, who was runner-up in batting at .355.
 
The Indians' main strength, like the Braves', was pitching.  Unlike their National League rivals, however, the Indians staff was a deep one.  The Tribe featured two 20-game winners in Gene Bearden and Bob Lemon, a 19-game winner in Bob Feller and spot starters Steve Gromek, Sam Zoldak, and Satchel Paige (who went a combined 24-10).
 
A coin flip determined that the one-game American League pennant playoff would be played at Boston's Fenway Park, and almost 30 years to the day before Bucky Dent's famous home run over the Green Monster, shortstop Boudreau won the pennant for the Indians with two home runs.
 
Cleveland then proceeded to make it a clean sweep of Boston, polishing off the Braves in the World Series.  Cleveland's Feller went 0-2, but the Indians beat the Braves in six games on great pitching performances by Bearden (who pitched a shutout in game three), Gromek (who posted one win and a 1.00 ERA), and Lemon (who triumphed in two games).

Total Classics 1995
By kyleb
The stars of Major League Baseball returned to the field in 1995 after the image-tarnishing strike that led to the cancellation of the 1994 World Series.
Shortened to 144 games, the 1995 season didn’t begin until late April. Fans  were still bitter after the 1994 season let the teams hear it when the season finally started.
In the American League, the Cleveland Indians bludgeoned teams on the way to a 100-44 record. The Tribe cruised past Boston and Seattle to set up a matchup with the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves, losers of the World Series in 1991 and 1992, were led by one of the great pitching seasons of all time by Greg Maddux. Paired with Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, the trio would not be stopped in the 1995 World Series and defeated Cleveland four games to two.
Maddux won his fourth consecutive Cy Young award in ’95. Albert Belle became the first player to ever hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in one season. Hideo Nomo and his mesmerizing delivery took home the NL Rookie of the Year award.
On a personal note, 1995 was the first season I followed as a young fan. Living in a state without a team and my only exposure to baseball being through movies and Sportscenter, I took on the Cleveland Indians as my favorite team. It was definitely a special time to discover the game.
I want to thank BallFour and Rising Son for their help on this mod. BallFour was game whenever I discovered a slight variation on a uniform for the mod. Rising Son took care of the overlay, so it looks much better than if I did it myself.
Total Classics 1995 features more than a dozen year-specific cyberface updates, special patches specific to 1995 on several uniforms and almost an entirely new portrait set from my last mod, Total Classics 1997. I believe only one player is missing a portrait.
I feel that this is the best roster set I’ve ever put together. It involved more player-specific research than I had ever done before, referencing books and magazines of the era to better reflect pitcher repertoires and attributes.
I hope everyone loves this mod and much as I enjoyed making it!

Total Classics 1997
By kyleb

The 1997 baseball season was a good one for fans of the Florida Marlins -- they didn't have to wait long to celebrate a world championship. The 1993 expansion club squeaked into the playoffs through the wildcard but knocked off three heavily favored teams to sit atop the baseball world -- if only for a little while. After earning the wildcard berth, Florida knocked off the Giants in the first round. The underdog Marlins then took the Braves in six to win the National League title, battering Atlanta pitching stars Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. The 1997 World Series, though sometimes comically sloppy, was highly entertaining. After splitting the first two games in Miami, the teams moved to Cleveland and were greeted by high winds and freezing rain. Game three, which took more than four hours to play, featured six errors in a 14-11 Marlins win. The teams then traded victories before returning to much warmer Miami. In game six, Chad Ogea stepped up and pitched Cleveland to a 4-1 win, forcing a final winner-take-all matchup. Game seven was one of the most thrilling World Series games ever. The Indians held a 2-0 lead before the Marlins scored one on Bobby Bonilla's seventh-inning homer. In the last of the ninth, facing defeat, Florida tallied again on second baseman Craig Counsell's sacrifice fly. In the home 11th, Counsell reached on Tony Fernandez's error. A walk and an infield out later, he stood on third. Marlins shortstop Edgar Renteria then rapped a single up the middle to score Counsell, end the series, and send 67,204 fans into hysterics.
