Transition Day from Statis-Pro Baseball (Maris & Yankees vs. Williams and Red Sox) ... to Value Add Basketball

With the World Series ending last night, and college basketball tipping off tomorrow night, this is our transition day between Statis-Pro Baseball and Value Add Basketball.

We decided we should close out with a Yankees-Red Sox all-time game, and chose Ted Williams 1946 Boston Red Sox - the one year he came close to the World Series title before a Game 7 loss - vs. the Yankees team on which Roger Maris hit 61 home runs to break Babe Ruth's record.

This game is in our "New York-Boston Division" - including the two cities that dominated so much of baseball history. When Whitey Ford pitches in the second game of the double header, the Yankees will have three of the top 100 players of all-time (see below, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Ford).  The division includes five of the top seven players of all time including Ted Williams as the 5th greatest of all time. The top 13 players of all time and many of the top 100 are included in our game. Mike Trout at 14th is the only player not included - as we just couldn't justify any of his Angels teams.

You may notice a "add to 11-88 RN" for a couple of players including starters Roy Partee's +2 and Bob Cerv's +1. This is a new number we've added when a player has a great hitting card without enough plate appearances to really justify the card. We let the card be used, but when the action is on their card the RN number is increased by that number. When doing this, do not change for left vs right on the 11, 12, 88 etc. The biggest number in the game is Matt Carpenter this year for the Yankees, who is a +8 because his actual stats were unbelievable this year but on very few plate appearances. Therefore, if he had an 11 on his card, it would be a 21 since that is actually 8 numbers in the base system (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21 - since no 18 or 19), etc.

Aaron Judge Chases Maris' 61st HR Tonight, Most Improved Statis-Pro Card Includes 24-36 Statis-Pro HR Range

As Aaron Judge chases Roger Maris' 61st Home Run tonight, his new Statis-Pro card was releases with his incredible 24-36 home run range. This 2022 Act (based on Actual stats) has four more home run numbers then his already incredible 2022P (based on pre-season Projected Stats) card, which had a 25-33 Home Run range and calculated to a 0.907 OPS. The actual card is based on his 1.116 OPS.

He also improved his OBR/STL (speed when running the bases and stealing basis from the C/D on his projected card. After stealing 16 of 19 bases this year he is now a B/B.

Judge is one of just 10 batters who will receive an improved card based on regular season stats that showed more than a 0.060 improvement in OPS and the player being in the top 100 overall in the MLB. The other nine improved cards are shown further down.
