1961 BBW replay: Slugout between KC and Minnesota

image

I have to give Kansas City credit.  They didn’t give up after Minnesota scored 23 runs including a 12-run fifth inning.  They did however, go through nine pitchers in this 26-15 battle in my 1961 APBA BBW replay.  Unfortunately, this is one day when the computer played both teams.  Currently, I’m managing the Orioles now but I just happened to notice the linescore in League Manager.

Not surprisingly, Harmon Killebrew had five rbis for the Twins.  However, an unknown (to me, at least) Ted Lepcio had seven ribbies on three homers. 

Here is the full boxscore of the game.

Poor leadoff man Zoilo Versalles.  He’s still hitting just .208 after going 4 for 7 for the day.

The Twins may be on my short list of teams to manage next!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
