South River Gladiators vs. Route 66 Hot Rods


SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 1
 
THE 1973 American League Championship Series

An epic head to head matchup between the two best teams in the American League, Mike See’s 113 Win 
Route 66 Hot Rods and Joe Dezarlo’s 104 Win South River Gladiators.  I have played in many many LCS 
and World Series during my time in SPB, and I must say, this series right here, just might be one of 
the wildest back and forth series I have EVER been a part of. 

Game 1 @ Route 66 -  The Hot Rods sent Jim Palmer (24-5) to the hill against the South River ace 
Tom Seaver (26-7). 

The Gladiators quickly jumped on “Cakes”, plating 4 runs in the first 3 innings, assisted by 2 
outfield errors by Bill North and Reggie Jackson.  With a 4 run deficit already in the 3rd, the Hot 
Rod fans were deflated with the dominant Seaver looking magnificent, but he erupted when their team 
shocking scored 6 runs off of Tom Terrific in the 3rd, taking a 6-4 lead.   With Palmer not his normal 
self, closer Rolle Fingers was brought in for middle relief, and tossed 3 scoreless frames, while the 
Hot Rods offense scored 3 more runs, led by Bill Melton’s 3 for 3 effort with a walk, double, RBI 
and 2 runs scored. 

Hot Rods take game 1 by a score of 9-4.

SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 2
  

Game 2 @ Route 66 -  An extra innings pitchers duel between young future aces Vida Blue for Route 66 
and Bert Blyleven for South River. Both pitchers were dominant for the entire game, but the Gladiators 
were able to scratch out a run in the 2nd off Blue on an RBI single by “Big Mon” Rico Carty.  Blyleven 
took that 1-0 lead all the way until the 9th inning. 

In the bottom of the 9th, Bobby Murcer reached on an IF single, chasing Blyleven from the game.  After 
closer John Hiller came in, Murcer then was advanced to 3rd on a Bill Melton single.  After a flyout by 
Thurman Munson, PH Bobby Floyd hit a sac fly to score Murcer, and the game was heading to extra innings 
tied 1-1.   Sparky Lyle relieved Blue in the 10th, and tossed a scoreless frame.  In the bottom of the 
10th, Hiller retired the first two batters (Carew and Rose), before Mr. October Reggie Jackson came to 
the plate, and did what Mr. October does, blasting a walk off solo Home Run deep into the night, giving 
the Hot Rods an improbably 2-1 victory and a 2 game to none series lead heading back to South River.

SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 3

Game 3 @ South River – A battle between the Hot Rods Jim “Catfish” Hunter and Luis Tiant.   
The Gladiators jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a Johnny Bench HR, but the Hot Rods once again 
struck hard in the 3rd, knocking in 4 runs off of Tiant, capped by a 2 run double by Bill Melton, 
putting Route 66 up 4-1.   That lead quickly evaporated in the 4th though, as the Gladiators 
jumped all over Catfish, with 2 Home Runs by Frank Robinson and Rusty Staub, tying the game at 4-4.  
It stayed that way until the 7th, when after Sparky Lyle walked Felix Millan, Richie Schienblum took 
Lyle deep for a HR, putting the Gladiators up by what ended up being the final score, Gladiators 6, 
Route 66 4.  Route 66 still leads series, but now only 2-1.

SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 4
 
Game 4 @ South River – A rematch of game 1 starters Seaver and Palmer.  This time, both pitchers kept 
the game scoreless until the bottom of the 5th, when Rusty Staub lead off with a double and later scored 
on a Dan Driessen single to take a 1-0 lead. Just like he did in game 1 in the 3rd, Seaver then fell apart 
in the top of the 6th, when after singles by Carew and Rose, that guy again…..Mr. October Reggie Jackson 
blasted a 3-run HR off Seaver, then adding a 4th run for good measure to take a 4-1 lead.  The score stayed 
that way until the top of the 9th,   which saw the Hot Rods score 3 more runs, capped by a 2-RBI single by 
George “Boomer” Scott, putting them up 7-1.  It was a good thing the Hot Rods added on those runs too, 
because the Gladiators put up a fight in the bottom of the 9th (A foreshadowing of what was still yet to come), 
scoring 2 runs on a Joe Torre Home Run, but the Hot Rods held on for a 7-4 victory and a commanding 3-1 series lead.

SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 5

Game 5 @ South River – The Hot Rods had a chance to finish the series off and sent Vida Blue back to 
the mound to face his game 2 opponent Bert Blyleven again.  Both were once again outstanding…..but for 1 
crucial mistake.  Scoreless into the 3rd, the Gladiators got to Blue for back to back singles by Felix 
Milan and Joe Torre.  Frank Robinson then followed with a 3-run blast to put the Gladiators up 3-0.  
The Hot Rods scratched out 2 runs off of Blyleven in the 4th and 6th, and would have tired in up but 
not for George Scott being gunned down at home plate by Robinson in the 5th (A scene that would repeat 
itself again in the future with a sequel) but the Gladiators took a 3-2 lead into eight, and added an 
insurance run for good measure and another Frank Robinson Home Run, to win the game 4-2 and tighten the 
series to only a 3-2 Hot Rods edge as the series headed back to Route 66.

SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 6


Game 6 @ Route 66 -  With their back still against the wall, the Gladiators sent Luis Tiant back 
to the mound against Catfish Hunter.  And it was the Luis Tiant show.  Tiant tossed a 5-hit shutout 
over the vaunted Hot Rods, scoring just 2 runs off of Catfish, but that was all they needed.  
In addition to the aforementioned Tiant, the Gladiators were led by a Richie Schienblum Home Run 
and Dan Driessen RBI single.  2-0 Gladiators win, and the Series was now tied at 3 games apiece 
and headed to another classic SPB Game 7!

SPB2-1973 ALCS GAME 7

Game 7 @ Route 66 – I’m at a loss for words for this game.  I’ll try my best.  Lets just say it was EPIC.   
This is very long, so apologies.

For the 3rd time in the series, the Gladiators ace Tom Seaver faced off against the Hot Rods ace Jim Palmer.  
After a scoreless top of the first, Rod Carew ignited the Hot Rod Faithful in their first AB, blasting a solo 
HR off of Seaver to put the Hot Rods up 1-0.  Billy North followed next with a triple, and scored on a Reggie 
Jackson ground out, and just like that, it was 2-0.  The Hot Rods struck again in the 3rd with a Solo HR by 
Thurman Munson and it was now 3-0 Hot Rods.  The fans were feeling good!

From that point, Seaver wasn’t great, but he pitched around a lot of jams (including having the based loaded 
and 0 outs in the 5th, but manager Dezarlo stuck with him and he worked his way out of it somehow without allowing 
a run).  The Hot Rods should have scored again in the 6th, but CF Casar Geronimo gunned down the speedy Bert 
Campeneris at the plate to keep the game close at 3-0. 

The Hot Rods were “finally” able to chase Seaver in the 7th, after a Reggie Jackson doubled and later scored 
to put Route 66 up 4-0 in the 7th.

Meanwhile, Jim Palmer was incredible once again, putting up zeros through the top of the 7th.  Manager See finally 
relieved him after a Joe Torre walk and wild pitch, he was looking “gassed” and See brought in closer Rollie Fingers 
for the final out of the 7th, still up 4-0.

Fingers tossed a scoreless 8th, and with the score still 4-0 heading into the 9th, with Frank Robinson, Rusty Staub 
and Johnny Bench due up, Manager See left his closer out there to get the final outs. 

Manager Joe Dezarlo desperately wanted to get future Hall of Famer Willie Mays (who announced this season would be 
his last prior to the playoffs) one final at bat, but didn’t want to pinch hit him for any of his big bats in an 
effort to try to make a comeback.  He would need someone to get a hit at least.  That problem was immediately solved 
when Fingers gave up a solo Home Run to Frank Robinson, making the score 4-1.  Mays might get a chance to wrap up 
his career after all (Willie has spent his ENTIRE career with the Gladiators….since Joe himself drafted him as a 
rookie in 1951 22 years ago!)

Fingers seemed a bit rattled after the Robinson homer, but he them proceeded to retire Rusty Staub and Johnny Bench.  
There were now 2 outs in the 9th, and LH Dan Driessen was in the on deck circle.   Even though the matchup was better 
for the left handed Driessen, who had also hot very well in the series, Dezarlo called him back, and with tears in his 
eyes, he sent Willie Mays to the plate, for what was likely his final AB in SPB-2, and possibly the final AB of the 
series for the Gladiators.


After tossing a called strike on first pitch, a confident Fingers was ready to close out the series by sending the 
42 year old Mays into retirement, but in what this writer can only describe as a “Roy Hobbs’esqe” moment, Willie became 
the Willie Mays of old, and ripped Rollie’s next pitch for a single, and the Gladiators bench erupted!  The old man 
Willie Mays had given them life.

A focused Joe Torre then stepped to the plate a launched a 2-run Home run, scoring Mays and tightening the Hot Rods 
lead to just 4-3.  Fingers was done…. there would be no save for him now, as manager See called for Dr. Mike Marshall 
to try to close out the series.  Manager Dezarlo sent Paul Schaal to the plate as a pinch hitter for Cesar Geronimo….and 
as the great Vin Scully once said, “In a game that has been so improbable……THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED!” As Schaal sent 
the next Marshall pitch into ORBIT for a Home Run, and just like that, game 7 was now tied at 4-4!!!!

The Hot Rods Fans and bench were left stunned, and it didn’t stop there.  Marshall walked the next batter Buddy Harrelson, 
which led to another pitching change to Alan Foster.  Foster then gave up a single, putting Harrelson at 3rd as the go 
ahead run, and See finally called for Tug McGraw, who was able to strike out Richie Schienblum to keep game 7 at least 
tied 4-4 heading into the bottom of the 9th.  (Authors note….to say that this was the most deflating moment I have experienced 
in SPB would be an understatement.  I was very happy for Joe and Mays at the time….but not after!! LOL!)

That took us now to a bottom of the 9th that ABSOLUTLY NO ONE on either team or in the stands expected to happen, but here 
we were, now tied at 4-4.

Mays stayed in the game, and moved into CF.  With Mr. October due up first, the Hot Rods had hope.  Ramon Hernandez got 
Reggie to fly out.  Their would be no magic walkoff for Mr. October.  Next up was George Scott.  Scott did what Reggie 
couldn’t and doubled.  This brought Pete Rose to the plate, who had been absolutely horrible in the series, batting just .194.  
Given his weakness against lefties, how bad he had been in the series and with the less than fleet-footed Scott on second, 
manager Dezarlo decided to face Rose and not walk him to try to setup a double play.

A confident Rose stepped to the plate and on a 2-2 pitch from Hernandez, grounded a slow bouncing single up the middle, 
which headed towards none other than the just entered into the game Willie Mays.  Realizing that ace closer Hiller would 
likely enter the game if Scott held at 3rd, 3rd base coach Jim Landis raised his arms in the air, frantically waiving Big 
Boomer to try for home.  As CF Willie Mays fielded the ball and while not the Mays of old, unleashed a bullet to Bench, 
and it likely would have been in time to throw him out, but not for an incredible slide by Boomer Scott, just avoiding 
the tag by Bench, and as the umpire screamed “SAFE”, the Route 66 Hot Rods has won the AL pennant, ending Willie’s career, 
and one of the most amazing and memorable SPB LCS series I have ever played in.


Series Notes:  MVP for this one was tough, but Jim Palmer, who was 2-0 (and should have been the winner in game 7 too) was 
named series MVP.  The team won all 3 of his starts and he had a 2.08 era, beating Tom Seaver 3 times. 

I want to congratulate my old friend Joe Dezarlo as well, such a great season and he really made this series so much fun 
to play H2H.  The Willie Mays moments at the end were just incredible, and I was so happy for Joe to see Wille get to cap 
his 22-year career as a Gladiator in SPB-2 like this.  I’m sure he would have loved if he had thrown out Scott, but there 
just was no more Say Hey Magic left.  Here’s to you Willie Mays. 

And here’s to a World Series matchup between the leagues two best teams, the Hot Rods and the Totems, finally matching up 
in an SPB-2 World Series.  It will be the 5th straight appearance for the Totems, who have won 3 of the last 4, and the 
first for the Hot Rods since their last World Series win in 1968.

Hope you enjoyed this VERY long write-up. 😊
