Re: Classic Teams - MLB 16
Just had a exciting see-saw affair in Game #3 of my NLDS that saw the '54 Giants go up 2-1 on the '57 Braves.
After the Braves enjoyed an early 1-0 lead on a homer by Wes Covington, the hometown Giants came roaring back in the third. After a three base error by Hank Aaron that allowed Giants starter Ruben Gomez to scamper to third, Whitey Lockman drove him in with a single. Al Dark then belted a two run shot and Monte Irvin added a two out blast to make it 4-1.
The Braves exploded in the sixth for 6 runs highlighted by a grand slam by Eddie Mathews. The inning started with Johnny Logan getting plunked, and Del Crandell followed with a single. Bob Hazle delivered an RBI single pinch hitting for Braves starter Bob Trowbridge. Red Schoendiest beat out a bunt to load the bases for Mathews' granny. After adding one more run on a fielder's choice, the score stood 8-5.
Monte Irvin was chosen the game star, and he led the charge in the bottom of the fifth. He clubbed and RBI triple into right center to score Willie Mays. Mays later counted on a RBI ground out by Don Mueller to close the gap to 8-7.
In the seventh, Irvin got things going again for the Giants, hitting his second triple of the game and was plated by a Wes Westrum sac fly to tie the game. The Giants would go ahead for good in the eighth on a passed ball. With one out Lockman and Dark would hit consecutive singles to put runners on the corners. Lockman would score on an errant offering by Braves' reliever Taylor Phillips for the winning run.
I also have the AL for v 3.0 done. Should be ready for release by month's end.

Enjoy and soon I'll include my subset offerings on the front page also. I'll simply be adding a few handfuls of teams to the existing 3 versions and re-issuing them with those new teams in the minors. I really like how the all-star teams turned out so check them out as I stuck them into a few team slots on the front page. Feedback is welcome.
