October 1, 1991
The Detroit Tigers will head out on the road for their final 6 games of the season. First up will be 3 games in Boston's Fenway Park against the Red Sox. Detroit is 5-5 on the season versus Boston. The Tigers finish the season with 3 games at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Detroit is 5-5 against the Orioles this season.
The Tigers hold a 1.5 game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL West. Toronto finishes the season with 2 games against the California Angels at home, then 3 games in Minnesota against the Twins.
Having never done a 1990's season, I've chosen 1991 as my next SOM replay. I'll be playing it simultaneously with my current 1972 replay, another thing I've never done; doing 2 replays at the same time. As usual, I'll manage the Detroit Tigers, trying to win the AL Pennant and a trip to the World Series.

he laced a one-base hit bringing in two baserunners. Detroit finished with
10 hits in the victory.
Gullickson(17-14) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. Eric

Frank Tanana shut down the Milwaukee batters on just 1 hit as the Detroit
Tigers defeated the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 1 to 0 at Tiger
Stadium.
Tanana(16-7) was simply too much for the Milwaukee batters. He didn't give up
much, just 1 hit and 1 walk in 9 innings. The Milwaukee batters didn't put
up a fight in the 9th.
Bill Wegman(14-9) was tagged with the loss. 'I thought it was my best
performance in a long time,' said Tanana. 'I had good command early in the
game. I had my control and composure and everything went well.'

Albert Belle ripped 3 homeruns and had 8 RBI while Doug Jones went the distance
as the Cleveland Indians destroyed the Detroit Tigers by a score of 17 to 3 at
Municipal Stadium.
Belle was really 'in the zone'. He smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the
3rd inning, launched a Grand Slam homerun in the 3rd inning and lofted a
three-run bomb in the 4th inning. Cleveland lit up the scoreboard in the 3rd
inning which saw them plate 9 runs on 7 hits and the 4th inning tallying 5
runs. Cleveland totaled 17 hits on the night.
Jones(1-7) lasted until the end allowing 3 runs for the win. Walt Terrell(9-8)
was the loser. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 7 runs in 2
innings.
'I didn't feel that good when I came to the park tonight,' Belle said. 'I'm
glad I decided to play!'

September 11,1991
Cecil Fielder hit his 50th homerun of the season tonight but the Boston Red Sox won the ballgame 7-3. Fielder hit the homerun, a 2-run shot, in the 1st inning but that was about all the offense the Tigers could muster. The Red Sox's offense was led by Phil Plantier who hit 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI. Matt Young pitched well after the 1st inning and got the Win for Boston. With the loss, the Toronto Blue Jays pulled within 4 games of 1st place Detroit.

Phil Plantier blasted 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Matt Young retired 10
batters on strikeouts as the Boston Red Sox bested the Detroit Tigers 7 to 3
at Tiger Stadium.
Plantier provided the offensive punch. He laced a base-hit in the 1st inning,
cracked a two-run shot in the 5th inning and clubbed a two-run home run in
the 7th inning. Boston managed 8 hits in their victory.
The victory went to Young(7-3) who went 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing 3 runs.
Walt Terrell(9-7) was the loser. He gave up 7 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings.
Young didn't realize how many strikeouts he was racking up. When told he had
10 he was obviously surprised, 'No kidding? Man, I knew that I had a decent
total, but I didn't think I had K'd that many. Say, that's pretty good,
isn't it?'

1991 AL Detroit Tiger Game and News
August 25, 1991
The Detroit Tigers won a hard fought game in extra innings today against the Seattle Mariners. With the game tied 2-2, Cecil Fielder hit a dramatic walk off homerun with 2 out in the 10th inning. For Fielder, it was his MLB leading 45th homer of the season and league leading 112th RBI.
Detroit will now head out to the west coast for an 8 game road trip starting in California. They currently have a 6 game lead over the 2nd place Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers received some bad news on Mike Henneman today. He'll be out about 3 weeks with an undisclosed injury. That'll put even more pressure on Detroit's already suspect bullpen.

After sweeping 4 games from the Yankees on the road in New York, the Detroit Tigers will square off against the AL West 1st place Chicago White Sox for 4 games back home at Tiger Stadium.
In the 1st game of a twilight double header the Tigers pitching floundered in the last 2 innings and Detroit fell to the White Sox 6-4. Reliever Mike Henneman failed to close out the game, blowing the save then losing the game after allowing 3 runs to score. The big hits for Chicago were Frank Thomas's 3 run homer in the 8th off Frank Tanana and Robin Ventura's 2 run triple in the 9th. Henneman, while being the best option in the Tiger's bullpen, is 7-5 with 23 Saves. But he has blown 12 saves and his ERA stands at 4.22.

Robin Ventura collected 2 extra-base hits and had 2 RBI at Tiger Stadium as

score of 6 to 4.
Chicago won the game with a rally in the top of the 9th inning with 3 runs on
3 hits. Craig Grebeck led off the inning for Chicago when he doubled. Mike
Henneman then had one get away for a wild pitch. Mike Huff then lined a
single which scored a run. Ron Karkovice got his chance to keep things
going, but he went down on strikes. One out later, Tim Raines came up and he
drew a walk. Ventura joined his teammates in the uprising and tripled with
two more runners crossing home. For the game Chicago out-hit Detroit 11 to

Donn Pall(5-2) got the win allowing no runs in 3 and 2/3 innings. Pall got
help from Melido Perez who was credited with his 4th save. The loss was
charged to Henneman(7-5) in relief. He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings giving up 2

After the game, it took a long while before Sparky Anderson emerged from his
office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He
concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood tonight, as
I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more
light-hearted over in the Chicago locker room.'
