    9/7-9/1984: Atlanta at San Francisco

    A sweep would have gotten the San Francisco Giants out of the cellar, but they could only manage wins in two of three games against the poor-performing Atlanta Braves in this 1984 Community Replay Project series. The Giants’ Rob Deer, making his season debut, batted 6-for-10 (.600) with four home runs., while Dan Gladden hit…

    I picked up the final two games of a series between the Cleveland Indians and the Detroit Tigers, and the teams split these contests. The Tigers were the World Champions in 1984, but it’s not going well for them in the replay as they are in third place in the AL East and 10 games…

    My first contribution to the 1984 Community Replay Project was a three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds. The results followed real life, as the Reds won the first two and the Giants captured the finale. July 31 – replay Reds 5-1 – actual Reds 3-0August 1 – replay Reds 3-1…
