"Super Sox" break out of lumber slumber, bash '69 Senators



White Sox 13, Senators 6


Feeling a bit lazy these days, so I haven't posted my latest result in a couple of days. Just wanted to put a brief recap-the Super Sox busted out of their one game slump and subjected Ted Williams' 1969 Senators to a 13-6 whacking at RFK Stadium. The Sens jumped out to a quick 3-0 1st inning lead on a home run by Mike Epstein, who also smacked one to stake...

Osteen, Senators put "Super Sox" in stupor

Senators 5, White Sox 1

Wasn't a very good day for the Super Sox, I must say. They squared off against Claude Osteen and the 64 Senators. Osteen looked more like future Dodger teammate Sandy Koufax as he methodically handled the potent Sox lineup, allowing only 1 hit through the first 8 innings.

I have decided, after a long layoff, to try and get back into APBA baseball. I have three seasons worth of teams laying arond gathering dust-1964, 1969 and 1936. I bought 1936 first, intending to "recreate" that entire White Sox season, but eventually lost interest. I bought 1964 and 1969 to match up the 1964 Sox and the 1969 Cubs in a mythical "World Series" between two of Chicago's famous also-rans (I would have preferred the 1967 Sox, but that season wasn't available). So...
