    8/4-6/2025: San Francisco at Pittsburgh

    The 2025 replay has hit absurd levels, as the San Francisco Giants swept the Pittsburgh Pirates to improve to 19 games over .500, and even more ridiculously got a no-hitter. Not from Logan Webb … not from Robbie Ray … not even from Landen Roupp … it was 42-year-old and low-rated Justin Verlander who blanked…

    7/28-30/2025: Pittsburgh at San Francisco

    The replay has gone off the rails at the end of July, as the Giants earned their second straight three-game sweep instead of two real-life series where they were the team that was swept. In real life, San Francisco ended July with two wins in its final 14 games to fall below .500. But in…

    GTOP S2W9: Gameday #4

    The 1920 Cleveland Indians finished up their championship season by posting a narrow victory in the final game of the campaign, putting their winning margin by two games over the idle 1930 St. Louis Cardinals. The 1929 New York Yankees, a day being eliminated, hardly bothered to show up for the final game of the…

    GTOP S2W9: Gameday #3

    The championship of season 2 has been decided, and it’s the 1920 Cleveland Indians that will come out on top. After the Indians again lost to the 1922 New York Giants, the clincher came as a result of the 1927 New York Yankees falling to the 1925 Washington Senators for the third straight game. The…

    GTOP S2W9: Gameday #2

    The 1920 Cleveland Indians have clinched at least a share of the championship, but blew their chance to win it outright on the second gameday of week 9 as they lost to the 1922 New York Giants. The only other team in contention, the 1927 New York Yankees, blew their own chance to make a…

    GTOP S2W9: Gameday #1

    After the opening round of games in the final week of the season, the 1920 Cleveland Indians (20-9) took a step closer to the title with a rout of the 1922 New York Giants (14-15). The 1927 New York Yankees (18-11) had a very costly misstep, as they were blown out by the 1925 Washington…

    GTOP S2W8: 1927 Pirates vs. 1920 Indians

    The 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates won twice in extra innings and managed to split the series against the first-place 1920 Cleveland Indians. It was enough to keep the Pirates’ pennant hopes barely alive at 16-12, while the Indians (19-9) will have at least a share of the lead heading into the final week of the season.…

    GTOP S2W7: 1927 Pirates vs. 1919 Reds

    Late game heroics were aplenty during the series between the 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates and the 1919 Cincinnati Reds, and the Pirates had more of them as they won three of the four games. Pittsburgh posted walk-off victories in the ninth inning of both games three and four. Paul Waner hit .562 (9-for-16) with five RBI…

    GTOP S2W6: 1922 Giants vs. 1927 Pirates

    The 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates were victorious in their series against the 1922 New York Giants by virtue of winning the first three games of the series, but all anyone will be talking about is the finale, as the Giants trailed 5-2 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and no one on base,…
