1968 World Series Replay Cont. (5th Inning)
I am replaying the 1968 World Series using the 1968 Topps Game Baseball Cards to produce the results of the game. In my second post, I played the 3th and 4th innings in which the Tigers bounced back with an unlikely homer by Denny McLain with Don Wert on first base. Both McLain and Bob Gibson have been pitching well but maybe not as well as the real game. Gibson had 17 strikeouts that October day and has just one to this point. In the real game, the Tigers pinch hit for McLain in the 6th inning and I will try to simulate that change if it makes sense. So we pick the game up in the top of the 5th inning with the Tigers up to bat. 1968 World Series Game 1 Don Wert singles in Game 1 of the 1968 World Series October 2, 1968 Detroit Tigers at St. Louis Cardinals Pitching Matchup 1969 Topps #150 1969 Topps #200 Top of the 5th Inning Tigers 2 Cardinals 1 Batting 8th Playing 3rd Base 1969 Topps #443 1...
