I have set up a National and American league double elimination tournament. Teams were selected with no particular reason other than I wanted one each of the original 8 franchises. That is when I found out I don't have a Browns/Orioles squad. (1970 O's would be nice if your reading this Jeff.)

Seeds were random and home/visitor is a coin flip.

National League Day 1 Games

Game 1
1967 Cardinals 4 - 9 - 0 (WP - Gibson)
1975 Reds - 0 - 1 - 1 (LP - Gullett)

Bob Gibson flirted with a no hitter before giving up a 7th inning single to Dave Concepcion. Gibson fanned 6 in the shutout. Cards scored a single run in the 6th with a one out single by Brock, who then stole second. Curt Flood then singled him home. Although that was enough for Gibson, the Cards added 3 insurance runs against reliever Clay Carrol in the 9th. Reds starter, Gullet pitched a fine game himself giving up just the one run in 8 innings work.

Game 2
1945 Cubs 1 - 5 - 2 (LP- Borowy)
1953 Dodgers 6 - 6 - 2 (WP - Erskine)

Carl Erskine struck out 8 while walking just one to pick up the complete game victory. The Cubs defense did them in, as they gave up 3 unearned runs. Erskine was able to pitch around a couple of errors for the Bums.

Game 3 (11 Innings)
1927 Pirates 2 - 9 - 1 (LP - Miljus)
1962 Giants 3 - 9 - 2 (WP - S.Miller)

With two outs in the 11th, Jose Pagan doubled home Tom Haller for the game winner. The Giants scored first with a pair of unearned runs in the 7th. McCovey reached on Rhyne's error, Haller and Davenport each singled to load the bases. Pagan walked to force in McCovey and Orlando Cepada got a sac fly.

The Pirates knotted the game back up in the top of the 8th with 2 unearned runs themselves. Paul Waner and Wright stood on second and third with two outs when Hiller made a two base throwing error.

Game 4
91 Braves 2 - 9 - 0 (WP - Leibrandt)
80 Phillies 0 - 5 -2 (LP - Carlton)

Charlie Leibrandt scatterd 5 hits, struck out 7 and walked 2 for the complete game win over the Phillies.

The Braves opened the 4th with Belliard reaching on a walk and then moving up on a wild pitch. After a flyout, Carlton had to be removed from the game after developing a blister on his pitching hand. Noles was not successful shutting down the Braves as Gant doubled home Belliard and scored later on Olsen's single.

American League Day 1 games

Game 1 (11 Innings)
91 Twins 6 - 11 - 0 (LP - Aguilera)
04 Red Sox 7 - 15 - 3 (WP - Leskanic)

A great see-saw battle that went 11 innings. The Twins led 1-0, 2-1, 4-2, and trailed 6-5 before knotting it up in the 7th. The Red Sox won the marathon game with Damon getting lead off walk. Cabrera singled him to third. Ramirez was walked intentionally to load the bases. A shallow fly ball and an infield pop fly gave the Twins hope of sending it to the 12th, but Nixon ended it with a single up the middle.

After the whole National League first day was played with out a single home run, this game provided four. Shane Mack and Chili Davis homered back to back, and Mark Bellhorn and Bill Mueller went yard for the BoSox.

Game 2
73 A's 0 - 5 - 0 (LP - Holtzman)
19 White Sox 2 - 7 - 0 (WP - Cicotte)

Eddie Cicotte made two first inning runs hold up as he went the distance for a 5-hit shutout. He struck out 5 while walking 2. The Southsiders touched Holtzman in the first, and then he threw goose eggs the rest of the way. Buck Weaver got a one out single. Joe Jackson walked and then Chick Gandil doubled them both home with a rope to the right center field wall.

Game 3
68 Tigers 2 - 7 - 0 (LP - McMahon)
54 Indians 3 - 9 - 1 (WP - Wynn)

Jim Hegan hit a no-out 2 run walk off homer to propel the Indians into the winner's bracket second round. The Tigers broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the 8th when Al Kaline doubled home Eddie McAuliffe. Starter Denny McClain got into trouble in the bottom of the inning giving up 2 singles with just one out. McMahon put out that fire by getting Westlake to ground into an inning ending double play. But his magic was gone when he returned to the mound in the 9th. He walked PH - Pope and then Hegan ended the game.

Wynn went the distance for the win.

Game 4 (1980 Royals inserted in the absence of a Browns/Orioles representative)
80 Royals 2 - 11 - 0 (LP - Gura)
27 Yankees 5 - 10 - 0 (WP - Hoyt Save-Pennock)

The Yankees knocked KC starter Larry Gura out with 5 straight hits followed by a walk that resulted in 4 runs in the second inning. Three relievers teamed up to limit the Bombers to just one more run, but the damage was done.

Yankee starter was sailing with a 5-2 lead into the 9th when he got into a jam. After UL Washington led off with a harmless popout, Willie Wilson walked and Frank White singeled. That brought up George Brett as the tying run. The Yanks went to lefty Herb Pennock in the bullpen. Brett Flew out to Ruth and then Pennock struck out Willie Aikens to nail down the win.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Day 2 National League Games

68 Cards 5 - 10 - 4 LP - Hoerner
53 Dodgers 7 - 9 - 1 WP - Labine

Bobby Morgan's pinch hit walk off two-run homer sent the Dodgers onto the winner's bracket championship. Pee Wee Reese and Carl Furillo also homered for the Bums.

Despite the benefit of four Cardinal errors, all of the Dodger runs were earned.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

62 Giants 8 -13 - 1 WP- Duffalo Save-G. Perry
91 Braves 7 - 12 - 1 LP - Freeman

The Braves spotted Tom Glavine to a 4 run first inning lead, but they could not hold it. The Giants responded with 5 of their own to knot the game up in the fourth. The Braves jumped back ahead with a 2 spot of their own in the bottom of the frame. A Willie Mays homer cut the Brave lead to 7-6 in the fifth. The Giants rallied for two more in the ninth to win it. Dave Justice homered in the first for the Braves.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ELIMINATION GAME

45 Cubs 5 - 13 - 0 WP - Wyse
75 Reds 0 - 12 - 0 LP - Nolan

Hank Wyse scattered 12 Cincinnati hits, struck out 7 and walked 2 as the Cubs stay alive for at least one more game.

The mighty Big Red Machine was shut out in both of their games in the tournament. Gibson 1-Hit them in the opener, and they just could not buy a clutch hit in this one.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


ELIMINATION GAME

80 Phillies 5 - 8 - 3 WP - Ruthven Save- Brusstar
27 Pirates 4 - 9 - 0 LP - Meadows

Powered by a 3 run Mike Schmidt homer, the Phillies outlasted their cross state rivals in the final game of day two. The Phillies added an insurance run in the 7th to make it 5-1, and they would need it.

The Pirates opened the bottom of the 9th with 3 consecutive singles. A pinch hit double by Heinie Groh cut the lead to 5-4 with the tying runner in scoring position. Then Warren Brusstar struck out two tough to fan hitters in Barnhart and Traynor to nail down the victory.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Day 2 Games

04 Red Sox 2 - 7 - 1 WP - Schilling
19 White Sox 0 - 4 - 1 LP - Williams

Curt Schilling scattered 4 hits and struck out 5 for the complete game shutout win over Chicago.

Roberts drove home Muellar with a single into left center for the game's first run. Muellar then doubled home Cabrera in the 7th for insurance.

The BoSox did suffer a setback as Johnny Damon was injured in the first inning as he was thrown out at third. He will miss at least 3 days of action.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

54 Indians 1 - 6 - 1 LP - Garcia
27 Yankees 4 - 10 - 1 WP - Shocker

The Yankees used a strong complete game outing from Urban Shocker to move into a showdown with Boston in the winner's bracket final. The Indians jumped ahead in the 2nd when Wertz singled home Al Rosen from second. The Yanks tied it with an unearned run in the 4th. Mark Koenig reached on an error. Ruth singled him over to third and Gehrig drove him home.

The Yanks busted the game open with a 2 out rally as Garcia tired in the 7th. Morehart led off with a single and Benny Bengough hit into a textbook 6-4-3 double play. Earl Combs then doubled into deep center. Koenig beat out an infield hit. Ruth doubled both of them home and Gehrig followed with a triple to end the scoring.

The Yanks lost the services of starting catcher Pat Collins on the first pitch of the game when a foul tip hit his throwing hand. Collins may be out the rest of the tournament.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


ELIMINATION GAME

91 Twins 2 - 4 - 2 LP - Erickson
73 A's 5 - 10 - 1 WP - Hunter

The A's got to Twins starter Erickson early and got a strong outing from Catfish Hunter to advance in the tournament. Joe Rudi doubled home Billy North in the opening inning. In the second, the A's added three more to knock Erickson out. Tenace got a 1-out single, Fosse then doubled him home. After a flyout, North walked and Campaneris doubled scoring both Fosse and North. Reliever Willis walked Fosse with the bases loaded in the third to give the A's a 5-0 lead they would not relinquish.

The Twins runs were provided by solo homers by Chili Davis and Shane Mack.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ELIMINATION GAME

80 Royals 4 - 11 - 0 LP - Gale
68 Tigers 6 - 13 - 1 WP - Sparma Save - Hiller

The Tigers busted open a 4-4 game in the seventh when Stanley and McAuliffe led off with singles. After Kaline flew out, Cash singled home Stanley. Horton loaded the bases with a infield hit. McAuliffe then scored on a slow ground out to second by Northrup.

Joe Sparma pitched two innings in relief to get the win, while McMahon and Hiller pitched the final two innings to nail it down.

George Brett homered for the Royals and McAuliffe hit a 2 run shot for the Tigers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Good to see the Tigers survive to see another day. Time Travel is a fun game and has some features you won't find with any other game.

National League
Day 3 Games


ELIMINATION GAME

45 Cubs 5 - 8 - 1 WP - Passeau
91 Braves 1 - 6 - 2 LP - Smoltz

The Cubs spotted Claude Passeau a 2 run lead in the top of the first and he made it hold up with a complete game win. He struck out 6 and walked 4 for the win.

Stan Hack led off with a walk and stole second. Two outs later Phil Cavaretta singled him home. Pafko advanced him to third with a base knock and Nicholson drove him home.

The Braves answered with one in the bottom of the first when Gant doubled home Lonnie Smith, but that was all she wrote for the the Braves scoring. Paul Gillespie hit a 3-run homer in the 8th for insurance runs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


ELIMINATION GAME

80 Phillies 1 - 5 - 1 LP - Walk
68 Cards 5 - 9 - 0 WP - Washburn

This game was scoreless until the top of the 6th, when Boone doubled home Mike Schmidt to put the Phils up 1-0.

The Cardinals batted around in the bottom of the inning. Javier walked forcing home Maris, and then pinch hitter Bobby Tolan rapped a 2 run single into right. The Cards scored two more in the 8th for insurance. Washburn pitched 6 strong innings, giving up just three hits (all doubles) before being lifted for Tolan's pinch hit. Hughes, Willis, and Hoerner each pitched a scoreless inning in relief to send the Phillies home.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

53 Dodgers 5 - 13 - 1 WP - Loes
62 Giants 1 - 6 - 0 LP - Marichal

The Dodgers advanced to the Championship game(s) with a 5-1 win over their arch rivals. Gilliam led off the game with a walk, advanced to second on a passed ball. Reese bunted him over to third. Robinson singled him home.

The Dodgers added two more in the 4th when Reese and Snider got back to back run scoring singles to plate Cox and Loes.

The Giants only run came on a fifth inning solo homer by Haller. Gil Hodges had a solo shot in the 7th for Brooklyn.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oddly, all three day three games ended with 5-1 scores.

This is a great tournament.

How long does it take you to play a game?
Do you keep complete game stats, or anything?

I can usually play a game in 25-30 minutes. I keep a score sheet, but I have not been tallying the totals for such a small tournament.

I fill in the lineups on the score sheets for all the games of the day first and then play them straight through. Except last night, I only played one American league game before I went to bed.

I am using the pitcher's rest chart from the old sport's illustrated game, other than that I am following Time Travel Rules. (I am ignoring the every 5th day is a hard luck pitcher - just because it is a tournament.)

What are your favorite elements to Time Travel?

I really like how simple it is, yet with the deck and the funny symbols and ratings, you get a pretty complex game which I don't feel the need to break down every statistical angle of the player's card. I feel like playing "tendencies" more than the actual statistical breakdown.

I also love how the careless and alert feature (although not overly realistic that one team would be careless and the other alert) really makes you think much more serious about your defense than many other games.

Back to my defense comment...

When I play the 1977 AA season, I find myself looking in the eighth inning if I can make a careless team alert by making a defensive change if that team is leading by a run or so.

It not only improves your defense having the higher number rating, but it can change the whole dynamic of the overall ability of that defense if it suddenly becomes alert. No game makes defensive replacements as potentially valuable. Again, not sure how realistic that is, but I really love the fact it does make you think about defense a lot.

Thanks for the information.
This looks like a fun game - as do most of the games played and discussed on this site.

I was thinking about Ultra Quick Baseball, but now I am leaning toward this game.
It's a classic game and I really like the look of it from what I can see of it.
I think I need to add this to my collection.

(I am also playing Dave's Net Results Soccer a lot!)

My favorite element of Time Travel is that it is fun to play. Every game seems to come up with something that I haven't seen in board baseball before.

I felt the same way about the Alert/Careless for a while, and called it Defense A and Defense B, but I was just fooling myself and just went with it.

About the statistical accuracy, I can not guess how accurate it is. Almost everything printed on a players Flash Card could come into play at some point. With so many variables it would almost be impossible to figure the cards out statistically.

I no longer play seasons with dice games, simply because I am too lazy to do the stats, so I play computer baseball for that. My two favorites are Dumbrov's baseball and Pure Sim (I play it with fictional players and teams, but it can be played with real players.)

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Day 3 Games

ELIMINATION GAME

73 A's 9 - 1 - 2 WP - Blue
54 Indians 1 - 5 - 0 LP - Lemon

In the tournament's first actual blow out, The A's got 3 RBI's from Reggie Jackson, 2 each from Billy North and Sal Bando to clobber the Indians. Vida Blue did his job, with a complete game 5 hitter. He struck out 6. Gene Strickland tallied the lone Cleveland run with a solo homer in the third.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ELIMINATION GAME

19 White Sox 2 - 9 - 2 LP - Faber
68 Tigers 8 - 9 - 0 WP - Wilson

The Tigers also whipped up on the White Sox in their day 3 game. Earl Wilson had a fine outing to get the complete game win, while the unlikeliest of Tigers, Ray Oyler was the terror at the plate. In the third inning, he singled home the game's first run, and then drove home 2 more with a double in the 4th. Willie Horton and Bill Freehan added 2 RBI's each.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

04 Red Sox 6 - 12 - 1 LP - Timlin
27 Yankees 7 - 9 - 2 WP - Shawkey

This was probably the most exciting game of the tournament to date. The Red Sox jumped out with a 2 run lead from solo homers from Garciaparra and Ortiz. The Yanks tied it up in the bottom of the first though when Ruth homered with Combs on base. The Red Sox added 3 more in the top of the 2nd, all unearned when Ortiz struck again with a 3 run double.

The Yankees started working at climbing back. Gehrig hit a solo shot in the 4th, and after Bob Meusel led off the 7th with a walk, Tony Lazzeri's 2 run homer knotted the game at 5. The Red Sox immediately went to their closer, Keith Foulke to put out the fire, and this would ultimately cost them. Foulke did his job getting the next three batters out with no more damage.

Dave Roberts got a one out double in the top of the 8th. That knocked Yankee starter Pennock out of the game. Bob Shawkey came in and gave up a run scoring single to Bill Mueller, to put the Sox up 6-5. After Embree faced the meat of Murderer's row in the 8th, Timlin came into pitch the 9th. He got two quick outs, but never nailed it down. Jumping Joe Dugan singled, Bengough doubled him home to tie the game and then Earl Combs doubled to end it. Shawkey got the last 5 outs for the Yankees to pick up the win.

Day 4 Games

National League
Elimination Game

68 Cards 4 - 13 - 1 WP - Carlton
45 Cubs 1 - 7 - 1 LP Derringer

After spotting the Cubs a run in the first, Carlton settled down to go 7 innings for the win. The Cards broke out in the 7th when Tim McCarver led off with a homer. Shannon, Javier and Schoefield singled and Brock doubled to plate 3 runs total. Flood led off the 8th with a single, stole second and then Maris doubled him home for the games final run.

The Law of Probability
Says anything will happen that can.

But the last time the Cubs made the Series
We dropped a bomb on Japan


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

American League
Elimination Game

73 A's 3 - 7 - 2 LP - Knowles
68 Tigers 6 - 12 - 0 WP Cain

The A's were winning with a slim 3-2 lead until the bottom dropped out in the 8th. The Tigers sent 10 men to the plate scoring 4 runs on 5 hits and a couple of walks. It could have been worse, but Fingers came in and struck out Horton with the bases loaded to end the inning. Hard Luck pitcher Blue Moon Odom had a decent performance, giving up just 2 runs over 6 and a third innings, but the Tigers blasted Darrel Knowles in relief.

DAY 5 GAMES

National League
Elimination Game

62 Giants 4 - 11 - 0 WP - O'Dell
68 Cardinals 2 - 8 - 0 LP - Gibson

The Giants jumped on Bob Gibson for 4 runs in the first inning and with the fine complete game pitching of Billy O'Dell moved on to the championship round. They will meet their arch rivals the 53 Dodgers.

Davenport led off with a double, Hiller tripled him home. Gibson got Mays and McCovey out, but then Cepada, Haller and Felipe Alou got hits to make it 4-0,

Lou Brock doubled home Julian Javier in the 3rd for the first Cardinal run. In the fourth, Maris got a one out triple and Mike Shannon singled him home.

Davenport went 4 for 5 for the Giants, while Javier was 3 for 3 for the Redbirds.

(Note - this is the first game in the tournament (that I noticed anyway) that someone played on both teams. Orlando Cepada went 1 for 4 for the Giants and Cardinals both.)

The Cardinals take 3rd place.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

American League
Elimination Game

04 Red Sox 4 - 9 - 0 LP - Wakefield
68 Tigers 8 - 13 - 0 WP - McLain

The Tigers scored 6 runs in the first inning and never looked back in this one. They sent 11 men to the plate, knocked Wakefield out after 2/3's of the inning. The big blow was a three run homer by Norm Cash.

McLain sailed along until the 9th, when he seemed to tire. After striking out the first batter he gave up three consecutive hits that cut the lead to 8-4. That was all Manager Mayo Smith wanted to see, and he went to Don McMahon in the bull pen. McMahon got a flyout and a strikeout to end the game.

The Tigers will meet the 27 Yanks in the American League Championships.

The Red Sox take third place in the American League.
