The History of the Dodgers (OOTP11) [Archive]

This game is going to be played using OOTP11 starting in 1901 with the Brooklyn Superbas, who eventually become the Los Angeles Dodgers as they are known currently. I'm going to be a watcher in this dynasty, so I'll let the computer handle all the moves, and I'll act as a news reporter giving reports on the Dodgers. I'll cover big moves and injuries, as well as a monthly report of how the Dodgers are doing.

This page is the record book for the Dodgers and will be updated at the completion of each season.

April 27, 1901

BROOKLYN, NY---The first big move of the Major League Baseball season took place today as the Brooklyn Superbas found a front of the line starting pitcher to add to their already strong rotation. They traded rookie outfielder Lefty Davis to the Pittsburgh Pirates for starting pitcher Deacon Phillippe.

For the Superbas, they give up a very promising prospect in Davis to get Phillippe, but management felt they were justified in doing so as they needed a starter to go with Bill Donovan. Brooklyn felt they needed another strong arm if they were going to make a move towards the first ever World Series Championship, where the champion of the National League will face of with the champion of the newly formed American League. Phillippe will be placed in the number one spot in the rotation, putting some experience in front of young Bill Donovan, who has very raw, but very great skills. The move knocks Doc McJames out of the rotation, and he will be made the closing specialist for the Superbas, who are 1 game behind the Pirates in the National League at 6-4.

The Pirates get a very solid young talent in Lefty Davis. Davis couldn't crack the lineup because he was stuck behind one of the greatest hitters baseball has ever seen, "Wee" Willie Keeler. Keeler has batted over .300 in all 9 seasons he's spent in baseball, and he is batting over .400 this year, so he wasn't giving up his spot to Davis. Lefty features solid hitting skills, and is very fleet of foot as he will be a serious stolen base threat for the Pirates, who are very strong contenders for the first ever World Series. Davis has been named the starting right fielder and will bat leadoff for the Pirates, who sit in first place in the National League at 7-3.

This was a short month due to opening day being in the middle of the month, so the numbers won't be as high as you might expect. No monthly award winners this month either due to the small sample size.

First off I am glad to see this! I must admit I do not know a lot about baseball pre-1920's, I mean obviously I know the big names like Willie Keeler, Nap Lajoie, Honus Wagner, Jack Chesbro, and some of the others. However, I love baseball and love the concept of this diary so I will be following along.

The Superbas/Robins/Dodgers had some great players go through their franchise.

That was a big trade by Brooklyn to pick up Deacon Phillippe, who was a very good pitcher during this time.

Maybe I should bring my "history of modern baseball" over here but I don't know if the readers here would want it and follow it.

I would follow it, not sure if you that would be enough. I would read anything that anyone would put up if it is about baseball.

I would be sure to follow that one. I have always loved what you did with your Undertaker diaries, and I think it would be even cooler with the history of baseball. I've read some of your other stuff at OOTP and OS and really like what you do with baseball, and I'm sure people would here too. It's not a big chore to take stuff from OOTP/OS's forum either as they have the exact same formatting style so all you have to do is copy and paste.

I agree, that was a huge trade for Brooklyn, I saw it and got excited. Phillippe isn't doing much yet for the Superbas, but he's got a long career ahead of him to help them win.

I was kind of the same way before I started playing historical mods in this game, I only knew the big stars. This is helping me with my baseball history a ton. It's going to be neat to see if guys who are so associated with one team get moved too and see what they could do in a different situation. I don't know if I clarified, but I set the amateur draft off so players debut on the teams they really did, so could we see Babe Ruth a lifelong Baltimore Oriole, who knows?

Every time I had tried to do a revised "history" of baseball, Phillippe kept showing up as qualifying for the HOF based on my requirement of a sub 3.80 ERA for those with 200-299 wins.

A person over at OS considers me a baseball historian, which I think is really (place current slang term for great here). I love baseball and it's history and also with OOTP's ability to change that course of history. As you are already aware, I'm into 1908 (starting from 1901), so I better start cutting and pasting.

His major league career started with the Boston Red Sox as a pitcher before becoming an outfielder later on in the decade. To show just how good Ruth was as a pitcher, he held the World Series record for consecutive shutout innings until Whitey Ford broke it during the 1961 winter classic. 1961 was certainly a tough year for the Babe.

Yeah, guess it was a bad year having records broken on both sides of the ball. I always thought he started with the Red Sox, I was watching Ken Burns baseball movies and he talked about how he debuted with them, he didn't say it was in an independent league.

Back in this time frame though baseball was baseball. Even the independent leagues were considered a good league to be in back then and many thought that by playing in the independent league was just a step below the MLB, but you were still considered a big league ball player and a pro.

See I get into this arguement with people a lot. If someone were to ask me who I thought was the best baseball player of all time, I would say beyond a shadow of a doubt Babe Ruth. Yes both Cobb and Ted Williams were better hitters. Mays was by far a better fielder (Well that is if you manage to forget his time with the Mets.). Yes Hank Aaron hit more home runs (I like to pretend that Barry Bonds does not exist as he is a pox on the history of baseball in my opinion.) and Josh Gibson could have very well hit more homeruns as well if he had been allowed to play in the MLB.

However, none of them were ever dominate pitchers as well as being a great hitter. Therefore, I think Babe is the best of all time, just my opinion though.

Superbas Sitting in Bottom Half

July 1, 1901

BROOKLYN, NY---We are two and a half months into the first season of the new era in Major League Baseball, and the glass is starting to look half empty for the Brooklyn Superbas. The fans at Washington Park have had some moments of brilliance from the team to cheer for, but in more recent days the outlook hasn't been as good for the home team.

The excitement of Brooklyn fans hit the peak when the team traded talented but unproven rookie Lefty Davis to Pittsburgh for Deacon Phillippe. Things quickly slid downhill following the transaction with both hitting and pitching struggling compared to the rest of the National League. Phillippe's acquisition was supposed to put an established ace in front of the rotation, but Deacon was quickly removed from his number one spot after going 4-9 with a 3.26 ERA so far on the season. Youngster Bill Donovan was given his top of the rotation spot back after going 7-8 on the season so far along with being among the league leaders in strikeouts so far. So far through the month Jay Hughes has been the only Superbas pitcher with a winning record, going 9-7 with a team best 2.68 ERA.

The hitting struggled at the beginning of the year, but have since turned it around and is in the top 3 in most offensive categories in the National League. The team is lead by 22-year old Jimmy Sheckard in almost every category. Many people are considering him as one of the top players in not only the National League, but all of Major League Baseball. He is 3rd in all of baseball with 8 home runs, but he isn't all pop as he has a solid lead in stolen bases with 38 already on the year. When names get thrown around for the 1st official Most Valuable Player Award in the National League, expect Jimmy Sheckard to get plenty of looks.

The first half of the season is drawing to a close, expect the Superbas to give it everything they have to try to get their heads back above .500, a place they haven't seen since the first month of the season. Nobody expects any teams to come close to catching the juggernaut team of the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the rest of the teams are fighting for a better finish in this ground breaking season of baseball.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Pittsburgh, PA---The 7th and decisive game of the first ever World Series took place today at Exposition Park and the overflow crowd went into an uproar as the Pirates shutout the Boston Americans to win the 1st World Championship in baseball history.

The series had been a great one up to game 7, and Major League Baseball looks to have hit a gold mine by combining the National League champions and the American League champions to determine a true World's Champion. Neither team took a 2 game lead in this series as it went back and forth, and luckily for Pittsburgh they had home field advantage due to a 1 game better record in the regular season than the Americans, who were led into action by a deadly one-two punch in their rotation, Cy Young and rookie George Winter.

Sam Leever wasn't getting things done opening things up for the Pirates, as he dropped both games to Cy Young. The Pirates decided to bump up him in game five with Jack Chesbro, and the move paid off with a 2 hitter from Chesbro. Game 6 went to Boston, with Cy Young going 3-0 through the first 6 games of the series. The decisive game 7 looked like it would come down to either Chesbro or Leever against George Winter, who was 0-2 at this point. The Pirates threw a curveball though and started strikeout specialist Rube Waddell, who was getting his first start of the series.

Waddell didn't dissapoint as his unusual antics on the mound befuddled the Americans. Boston tried to get into his head, which is what most teams try doing to get him off his game, but Waddell just kept muttering to himself all game and did nothing but retire hitter after hitter. No batter reached 2nd base for Boston, and by the time it was all said an done Waddell delivered the first World Series Championship to the home crowd Pittsburgh Pirates fans.

This series was considered a resounding success and will be continued in future years. Will the Pirates be able to defend their crown or will another team rise up and take it from them?

Wow! The Superbas trade away a future HOFer for Barry McCormick?

Wow! The Superbas trade away a future HOFer for Barry McCormick?

Yeah, I was kind of just giving the screen a huh? look when I saw that one. I knew they were probably going to be shipping some people away since they were complaining in the media all year, but I figured they'd actually get something for them.

What I'm most excited for this year is to see how Jimmy Sheckard follows up that monster MVP season.

And a side note, I'm currently out of town for Easter break, so I won't be able to do any updates until Sunday night, hope everybody has a good little holiday.

Notes from the 1902 World Series

This was a rematch of the 1st World Series last season.
Boston came back from a 3-1 defecit to win the Series
This was Boston's 1st World Championship as they lost to Pittsburgh last season.
Cy Young improved his career World Series record to 6-1 with a 3-1 effort this year.
Buck Freeman was the 1st player to hit 2 homers in 1 World Series, and now has 3 for his career.
NL Triple Crown winning pitcher Rube Waddell got the loss in the decisive game 7.
Both World Series have now gone to a decisive 7th game and the series looks to be a huge hit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breaking Down Brooklyn's Trades

The first trade saw catcher Duke Farrell get shipped to the new team in town the New York Highlanders for right fielder Cy Seymour. This trade didn't make much sense at the time for Superbas fans, but it would in a few weeks. The fans were happy to get Seymour, who is in the prime of his career and is a middle of the lineup hitter, but the Superbas already had a right fielder, Willie Keeler. It all made sense when the Superbas traded Keeler weeks later. But in terms of this trade, the Superbas came out strong here as Farrell had a good year last year, but is in the twilight of his career as Seymour has many great years ahead of him. Expect to see Seymour and Jimmy Sheckard be a great 1-2 punch in the outfield and middle of the lineup.

The second trade has Brooklyn fans furious. Star hitter Willie Keeler was sent to the Cubs for shortstop Bill Dahlen, yes, the same Bill Dahlen who complained the whole 1901 season as he played for Brooklyn that he wanted to be traded. Well guess what, he's back, and the Superbas gave up one of the best hitters in franchise history to get him back. The fans are in an uproar about this and want the GM's head if Dahlen has a repeat of 1901. Expect him to bat leadoff for the Superbas and bring his stellar defense back to the club.

Excellent work as always sHaynes23, really enjoying reading through whats going on in the world of baseball :)

Thanks a lot, I'm really enjoying writing it. I'm learning lots about baseball history through it too and it'll be interesting to see how things shape up differently in this version of baseball.

July 1903

News and Notes From July
July 9th: Brooklyn Superbas RP Grant Thatcher (0-1/5.40/3) will be out 2 weeks with a knee contusion.
July 10th: Boston Americans 3B Jimmy Collins (.302/7/58) hits for the cycle.
July 10th: Detroit Tigers SP Frank Owen (11-6/1.68/73) will be out 3 weeks with rotator cuff tendinitis.
July 17th: Brooklyn Superbas trade SP Frank Kitson (10-9/2.58/68) to the Chicago Cubs for RF Danny Green (.276/3/46)
July 17th: St. Louis Browns SP Barney Pelty (12-6/1.94/99)will be out for the rest of the season with a sore shoulder.
July 30th: The New York Giants have been rumored to have made LF George Van Haltren (.261/0/30) available for trade.
July 31st: New York Giants SP Christy Mathewson (13-11/2.40/138) throws the first no-hitter in MLB history.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York City Abuzz with Brooklyn Trade and Giants No-No
New York City is the most exciting place in the world for baseball. With three teams; the Brooklyn Superbas, New York Giants and New York Highlanders, there is always something to do in the New York area when it comes to baseball. July was a huge month for the cities teams, mainly with a big trade by the Superbas and the first no-hitter in the history of baseball from the Giants.

First, the big trade of the year so far has been the Superbas trading SP Frank Kitson to the Chicago Cubs for RF Danny Green. Kitson has been very successful for the Superbas, racking up a record of 50-34 since 1901 for the club. The deal is praised by Brooklyn fans though because they are getting another great bat for their already loaded outfield as Danny Green comes over from Chicago. Green is most known for knocking 12 balls out of the park in 1901 and continuing big numbers into last season an this season. This opens up the question of what to do in left field though. 1901 NL MVP Jimmy Sheckard could see his playing time cut as he has not been producing this year to levels he has in the past, and it could be Sheckard and Green battling it out for the full time left field spot, only time will tell.

The other exciting thing to happen in New York baseball this month was Giants SP Christy Mathewson throwing the first no-hitter in the history of the new MLB. Many pitcher have come close, but no have ever held a team to no hits for a full game. Mathewson is a great young pitcher that many people expect a lot from, and the word going around was this was the breakout performance he needed to put his name on the baseball map around the country.

Notes from the 1903 World Series

Pittsburgh wins their 2nd World Championship in 3 years.
This was the first World Series to be a 9 game series.
This was the first World Series to not go to a decisive final game.
Chief Bender led all of baseball in wins, but went 0-2 in the series.
Pittsburgh has now played in the first 3 World Series matchups.
Game 1's 13 innings was the longest World Series game played to date.
MLB officials will likely go back to a 7 game series after this version wasn't as big of a success as the first two.

I never make it down into this area but since I'm here I'm goign to keep checking back to look at this! Very interesting game, I have OOTP 11 and did this once, it was fun using wikipedia to look up the players I didn't know but ultimately not knowing everyone kind of left me bored. I did win a championship with the two man rotation of Cy Young and Christy Matthewson though. LOL.

Haha, not a bad 1-2 punch to come at teams with. That's why I'm doing this one as a watcher game, it's too easy to dominate historical replays because you know the guys that are going to put up huge numbers. I rattled off 4 championships in a row with the Cardinals before because I had an outfield of Ty Cobb, Shoeless Joe Jackson and Tris Speaker, all who I drafted. I'm really glad you are enjoying it, and let's hope that Brooklyn can turn things around soon.

Notes from the 1904 World Series

The St. Louis Cardinals win their first World Championship in their first try.
St. Louis is the place to be this year, the World's Fair, the Olympics, and the World Series.
This was the first World Series to be played between two teams in the same city.
This is the first World Series to not have the Pittsburgh Pirates representing the National League.
The Browns bettered the Cardinals by 15 games in the regular season, but could only win once in the World Series.
This marks the return of the 7 game World Series, a number that will likely stick for a long time.
Game 5 was the longest game in World Series history, coming in at 15 innings, all of which were pitched by Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown.
