I recently started a 1961 Yankees replay on OOTP24. But as I'm doing many other projects, it's kinda slow going. Not doing real-life lineups/transactions. It's a parallel universe, and I'm embracing that.

Anyway, using the regular 1961 Yankees lineup, I started off 0-3 with three straight narrow losses to the Twins. Then I switched it up:

Clete Boyer - 3B
Johnny Blanchard - LF
Mickey Mantle - CF
Elston Howard - C
Roger Maris - RF
Bill Skowron - 1B
Tony Kubek - SS
Bobby Richardson - 2B
Pitcher

With this somewhat bizarre lineup, I've won 4 in a row and outscored the KC A's and the expansion Angels 30-14. We are third in the AL in runs scored (38) and have allowed the second-fewest runs (25).

Of course, it's EARLY. I know that. Still ... this is interesting, don't you think?
