Welcome to Day 1 of the World Series League Playoffs. Today features the teams from the American League, as they open up their best of seven series in the Opening Round Playoff Series.

Our first game today features the 1970 Baltimore Orioles vs. the 1932 New York Yankees. The Orioles send Jim Palmer (16-14, 3.08) to the mound to face off against Red Ruffing (17-9, 2.61) of the Yankees. The scoring starts in the top of the 2nd, when Boog Powell (.306, 40 HR, 138 RBI) sends a solo shot over the right field fence to give Baltimore the early 1-0 lead. The score stays the same until the bottom of the 6th inning, when Earle Combs (.280, 5 HR, 78 RBI) hits a home run to right field to tie the score 1-1. Palmer is still pitching in the bottom of the 7th, but is pulled after allowing a double and a walk with no outs. Moe Drabowsky (1-1, 3.73) is brought in to relieve the game, but all he does is relieve the Yankees concern about this game. The flood gates open and New York scores seven runs on five hits, highlighted by a GRAND SLAM by Babe Ruth. Ruth's homer to right center is estimated at 437 feet.

The second game features the 1989 Oakland A's vs. the 1912 Boston Red Sox. Oakland sends Mike Moore (18-9, 2.68) to the mound and Boston gives the nod to Smoky Joe Wood (19-9, 2.53). Oakland is the first on the board. In the top of the 2nd inning, Mike Gallego (.222, 3 HR, 57 RBI) shows off his power with a two out GRAND SLAM to left field to give the A's the early 4-0 lead. Moore would shut down the Red Sox, as he pitches six innings and allows only two hits. Moore would finish with six strikeouts and two walks.Oakland would add two more runs in the top of the 8th, as Greg Cadaret (3-1, 2.29) pitches the final three innings to earn the save. Cadaret allows only one hit, strikes out four and walks one.

Today's third game features the 1953 New York Yankees vs. the 1941 New York Yankees. Vic Raschi (18-8, 2.71) is sent to the mound for the '53 squad, while Marius Russo (25-3, 2.11) starts for the '41 team. What looks to be a pitcher's duel....well, it isn't. The '41 Yankees start the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd, scoring five runs on six hits (five singles and a double) to take the early lead. The '53 Yankees score two in the top of the 3rd to make it 5-2.

The '41 team scores two more in the bottom of the 8th for a comfortable 9-4 lead. Or so they think. In the top of the 9th, the '53 Yankees hit two doubles, followed by a Yogi Berra two run shot to left, and suddenly it's 9-7 with only one out. The '41 Yankees have seen enough and they call in Atley Donald (18-7, 3.18) to shut things down. Donald, who is normally a starter, earns the save as he strikes out Mickey Mantle swinging and Hank Bauer looking to end the game.

Hoyt keeps the '39 club at bay, allowing only four hits over eight innings of work, with four strikeouts and four walks. Carl Mays (11-13, 5.55) comes in the 9th try to preserve the 2-0 lead. Mays gets Tommy Henrich to pop out to short. Babe Dahlgren then comes to the plate and runs Mays to 10 pitches, including four straight foul balls before hitting a single. But poor Joe Gallagher grounds into the 6-4-3 double play to end the game.

The Yankees would answer in the top of the 4th, when Lou Gehrig (.305, 28 HR, 111 RBI) hit a double to score Red Rolfe, tying the game 1-1. But Gomez would start to come unwound, as the Indians make it 4-1 in the bottom of the 4th on two hits and two walks. Cleveland would add three more runs on five hits in the bottom of the 6th to make it 7-1, highlighted by an Eddie Murray (.315, 22 HR, 91 RBI) two run homer to center which measured 437 feet.

The Rangers would get on the board in the top of the 5th, when Ian Kinsler (.247, 27 HR, 74 RBI) would double home men from second and third to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead!! Texas adds another run in the top of the 7th when David Murphy (.259, 14 HR, 77 RBI) hits a solo shot to right to lead off the inning. Rangers lead, 3-1. But Baltimore's bats would find life in the bottom of the 8th inning. Johnson would single, as would Frank Robinson. Boog Powell hits an RBI single and is followed by Paul Blair's RBI double to tie the game, 3-3. Powell would score the winning run from third on a passed ball, with Marcelino Lopez (2-6, 2.73, 41 Saves) getting the save for the Orioles.

The game ends up being an unlikely pitcher's duel, which was scoreless until the top of the 6th, when Sam Crawford (.316, 27 HR, 145 RBI) doubles home Tom Jones from first base to give Detroit a 1-0 lead. The Tigers would add another run in the top of the 7th, when Donie Bush (.266, 0 HR, 56 RBI) singles Jim Delahanty home from second. To the bottom of the 9th we go.

Works gets Bob Meusel to pop out to the second baseman and the game is over.
