Season at a Glance

After forty-one games into the replay, the Yankees matched their identical record at 23-18. For the balance of the

season, the Yanks were steaky; sometimes playing like they would never lose again and at other times struggling to

find a win. The replay produced 11 additional losses vs. the actual season.

Yankee replay pitching was stellar. Yankee replay ERA was 3.03 vs. 3.46 actual. Yankee replay WHIP was 1.155 vs.

1.261 actual.

The replay shortfall was revealed in the lack of batting average. The Yankees replay batting average was .245 vs. .263

actual. And consequently, their slugging percentage was also lower.

Yankee replay at-bats were 3% higher than actual due to a greater number of extra inning games.

Yankee replay home runs were 7% less, doubles 9% less, and triples 28% less. This all factored into not reaching their

1961 win total of 109.

Game 17: New York (Turley) at Minnesota (Ramos)

The Twins rallied for four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to take

a 6-4 lead. Yankee Yogi Berra, pinch-hitting for Hector Lopez, drilled a

three-run home run in the ninth inning to garner the Yankee comeback

win. Harmon Killebrew had a solo HR in the third, drew three walks and

scored two runs.

New York 010 000 303 - 7 Minnesota 101 000 040 - 6

Overall, the Yankees were productive at the plate, outscoring (+36%), outhitting (+22%) and out-homering (+62%) their

opponents. The Yanks struck out 8% less and walked 8% less than their opponents. But their on/off streaky power

didn’t always translate to wins. The Pythagorean statistic calculated their replay winning percentage should have been

.651, closer to their actual .673 win pct. based on the difference in runs scored versus their opponents throughout the

season.
