1934 Replay Final Thoughts

Once again: Mission Accomplished! I was able to manage the '34 Detroit Tigers to a World Series Championship. This Tigers team did win the AL pennant by a fairly large margin before losing the World Series to St. Louis in 'real life', so it wasn't really that difficult to accomplish my mission. But it sure was a lot of fun!
This is the oldest season replay I've ever done and it was very interesting to get to know the players of this era. While I knew of the more recognized players like Ruth, Gehrig, Ott, Greenberg, Gehringer, Dean, etc.... it was players like Hal Trosky, Billy Werber, Heinie Manush, Wally Berger, Lon Warneke and all the players on the Tigers roster that I really had fun following throughout the season.
As I said, the Tigers won the pennant by a fairly large margin in the actual '34 season (11 games ahead of the NY Yankees), but the Yankees really gave the Tigers a battle in my replay. It wasn't until September 17th that my Tigers were finally able to move past NY into 1st place and eventually win the pennant by 5 games.
Besides the Yankees over-performing during my replay, the Pittsburgh Pirates were a big surprise going 88-62 compared to their actual 74-76. The New York Giants were a big factor in the pennant race for most of the NL season before falling off at the end of the year.
The 1934 Detroit Tigers have got to be the best hitting club I've ever had. They didn't hit for a lot of power but did average 6.47 runs/game and had a .314 team BA, the first time I've ever had a team hit over .300.
2nd baseman Charlie Gehringer led the way for the Tigers with a league leading .381 ba, 12 hr, and 134 rbi. 1st baseman Hank Greenberg hit .331, had 30 hr's, and a league leading 164 rbi. Pitcher Schoolboy Rowe tied with Lefty Gomez of NY for most wins with 23 and along with his 2.52 era, 23 complete games and league leading 162 strikeouts, Rowe won the AL Cy Young award. Lou Gehrig of the Yankees won the AL MVP by batting .346(4th in AL), 48 hr's(1st), and 157 rbi (2nd).
In the NL, Rip Collins of the St. Louis Cardinals won the NL MVP by batting .344, 36 hr's (1st in NL) and 138 rbi (1st). Teammate Joe Medwick, batting right before Collins in the Cardinals lineup hit .349 (3rd), 31 hr's (4th), and 124 rbi (4th). Mel Ott of the NY Giants also had an outstanding season batting .349 (4th), 33 hr's (2nd), and 126 rbi (3rd). Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates won the NL batting crown with a Major League leading .393 ba. The Cardinals Dizzy Dean 26-5, 2.38 era and the Giants Carl Hubbell 22-11, 2.11 era, battled for top pitching honors with Dean being named the NL Cy Young award winner.
All in all, 1934 was a great/fun season to replay that I obviously enjoyed, especially the final result: Detroit Tigers, 1934 World Champions!

1934 World Series- Game 5: Detroit wins World Series


October 7, 1934

The Detroit Tigers won the 1934 World Series 4 games to 1 with another late inning victory today, 6-5. After scoring 3 runs in the 1st inning the Tigers were pretty much held in check by Cardinal's starting pitcher Dizzy Dean until the 9th inning. St. Louis had battled back from that 3-0 deficit to lead the game 5-4 heading into the last inning. But Detroit once again showed their resolve and scored twice in the 9th to take the lead 6-5. Vic Sorrell came on in relief of Schoolboy Rowe and picked up the save by getting the Cardinals to go down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 9th, preserving the win and a World Series victory. Hank Greenberg (pictured) was named the World Series MVP. Greenberg hit .476 with 2 hr's and 6 rbi.

In a great finish the Detroit Tigers came back in the top of the ninth and

held on to win over the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 6 to 5 at

Sportsman's Park.



Detroit came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning with 2 runs. Frank

Doljack led off and he was hit by a pitch. Jo-Jo White stepped up next and

he tripled bringing in a run. Pete Fox got his turn next, but he was a

strikeout victim. Charlie Gehringer came up and he hit a deep fly scoring

the final run of the inning. Vic Sorrell was perfect in relief and gained

credit for his 1st save.



Schoolboy Rowe(2-0) got the win allowing 5 runs in 8 innings. Dizzy Dean(0-2)

was the losing pitcher. Mickey Cochrane was very happy after the game, 'It's

great to come back and win it in your last at bats! Our guys just wouldn't

give up. And did you see the fans - one minute they're laughing and

screaming down all sorts of unprintable stuff at our guys - the next minute -

SILENCE! Yes sir, a very enjoyable win this afternoon!'

1934 World Series Game 4



October 6, 1934

St. Louis wins game 4 of the 1934 World Series behind the hitting of NL MVP Rip Collins. Hank Greenberg hit 2 homeruns and drove in 4 runs in a losing effort for the Tigers. Greenberg hit a 2 run shot in the first inning but Collins topped that with a 3 run homer in the 6th, putting the Cardinals up 5-4. Greenberg then hit his 2nd homerun of the game in the top of the 7th, a solo blast that tied the game at 5. St. Louis scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th, the key hit being a run scoring double off the bat of Collins, and held on to win 7-5 for the first time in this series. With the Detroit ballclub holding a 3-1 series edge, game 5 tomorrow will feature Dizzy Dean and Schoolboy Rowe in a rematch of game 1's Cy Young winners.

But the Tigers came roaring back in the bottom of the 9th scoring 3 times, tieing the game at 5 and sending the contest into extra innings. In the bottom of the 11th inning Detroit 3rd baseman Marv Owen tripled with 1 out. Flea Clifton ran for Owen and scored the game winning run on pinchhitter Gee Walker's sac. fly into deep centerfield. The teams now head to St. Louis for game 3 tomorrow with Detroit holding a 2-0 series lead.

1934 World Series Game 1



October 3, 1934

The Detroit Tigers opened the World Series in impressive fashion today, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 8-0. In a pitching matchup between the Cy Young Award winners from both leagues, Detroit ace Schoolboy Rowe went the distance shutting down the Cardinal batters. St. Louis ace Dizzy Dean gave up 3 runs in the 5th, then got chased from the mound in the 6th as Detroit scored 4 more runs off him. All the Tiger batsmen contributed to the victory as they pounded out 16 hits during the game. Game 2 tomorrow will see Tommy Bridges from the hometown Tigers pitching against the Cardinal's Paul Dean.
