1987 Season
The 1987 season was another with a weak team representing its League in the World Series. This time it was the 5th place Minnesota Twins, winners of 85 games, 13 fewer than the Detroit Tigers. The NL's best, St. Louis, did get to the Series, but lost to the Twins in 7 games. We'll see how they would have fared against the Tigers using Diamond Mind Baseball.
