Let’s Play Five!

I decided to play catchup today on my 1921 Giants season replay, which, because of COVID, I should have been finished before the 100th anniversary of the season, but for some reason I never committed to finish this one or the 1971 season, on it’s 50th anniversary.

Final from Crosley Field:

Giants drop 2 to the Reds.

These were the first two games played with a set of all-new charts from Sideline Strategy, including expanded rare play charts.

The rare play charts may have cost the Giants the second game, as Slim Sallee was tossed after arguing a called ball 4 against Lew Fonseca, who eventually scored the winning run on a sac fly by Bubbles Hargrove.

Next up: the Giants go to St. Louis to play a series against the Cardinals.

Stay tuned!
