NOTES: The 1987 regular season is a wrap. The Destinies won their final game, and the Surfers lost their 4th straight game, putting Dark Valley into the playoffs and the Surfers into the dust bin. The Investigators lost their last 3 games, and the Mashers won their last 3 games, putting Milwaukee a game in front of Arkham and clinching the pennant for the Mashers on the last day of the season. The Investigators finished the season tied with the Trout. With tiebreakers, the Trout/Investigators tied their season series 6-6. But the Trout had a better division record (27-21) than the Investigators (24-24), pushing the Investigators from a potential pennant winner all the way down to league wildcard status. The playoff format: __Mashers (97-65)_Aaron Pennant_(HFA)_ __Investigators (96-66)_League WC_____|__________ __Trout (96-66)_AP Conf WC____________ |_______________ __Flames (96-66) Paige pennant_(HFA)__|__________| | __Stars (96-66) Tiant pennant (HFA)___ |_'87 CHAMP__ __Destinies (93-69) GT Conf WC________|__________ | __BYE_________________________________ |_______________| __Traffic (101-61) Gehrig pennant_____|__________| The Investigators and Mashers get to continue their fued in the post-season, while the Trout faces Tim Burke and the Flames. The Stars and Destinies continue their fued in the post-season, while the 101 game winning Traffic get a 1st round bye. With all of the baseball flying out of the park, it was a given that league records would fall. Jack Clark of the Destinies set new league highs in slugging percentage, runs scored (tying with fellow teammate Darryl Strawberry), and walks. Rookie Mark McGwire made a huge mark, setting a new record for homers (66!) and RBI (174!). Vince Coleman broke his old steals record, stealing an amazing 107 bases in 1987. Tony Gwynn was the hitmaster, setting a new league record for hits and hitting streak. Kent Hrbek had a great season for the Whoop, setting new standards in on-base average and intentional walks. The Investigators set new highs in on base average, runs, and RBI. The Destinies set new records for slugging average and homers. The Mashers set a new triples record, while the Hurdle Mills Hurdlers set a new doubles record. Lots of pitching records fell too, but of the infamous kind. Mike Boddicker of the Whoop set a new futility record for losses, racking up 24. The Stingers set a new league record for worst team ERA with an ERA of 5.16. The Whoop set a new league low for shutouts, recording only 2 this year. But there was one bright side. The Flames' Tim Burke put in the most dominant season ever by a closer, and set a new record for saves in a season, with 40. The 95 loser club this year are the Stallions, Gray's, Maul and Hurdlers. Playoff info will be coming shortly.
