Ultra Quick Sports

I dug out my copies of Ultra Quick Football and Ultra Quick Soccer last week, which then gave me the idea to pick up Ultra Quick Baseball, since it’s supposed to be a way to quickly sim the rest of the games in a single team replay.

I’m going to try it with the 1921 and 1971 season replays that I’m currently playing (though stalled due to my own indifference toward what to play lately).

It’ll probably take as long to sim all the games up to the point where I am in those seasons as it took to play those games.  I hope not.

Stay tuned!

1979: Giants Replay, Game 2

Felt like playing Statis Pro Baseball today, so I dug it out and played the second game of the Giants’ 1979 season.

Final from Riverfront Stadium:

9th inning heroics by both teams, but the Reds end up winning on a wild pitch by Greg Minton.

Alas.

Eight years between games of this replay, so I don’t know if/when I’ll continue this one.

Seasons Assessment

It appears that I have the following seasons for APBA Baseball:

1986 (from my brother, Robert)
2000 (50th anniversary set, fancy set and cards)
2002 (at the time I thought this was going to be the last hurrah for World Series appearances by the Giants)

I’m getting a new boxed basic APBA Baseball set this weekend.  I have no plans to pick up any new teams.

I just wanted something simple as an alternative to Ball Park and Payoff Pitch Baseball, which is why I have no plans to get the Master Addition booklet.

For 1986, I plan to play both the Mets and Giants, maybe abbreviated seasons, using APBA for the road games and Payoff Pitch for the home games for both teams.

Not sure about 2000 and 2002, though I do plan to replay the 2000 Subway World Series at the very least.

From the scorecards I found Robert did play the 2002 World Series, with a different outcome.

There’s also a team envelope with the 1971 San Francisco Giants.

I think back then I was planning to play at the very least the 2000 season since that’s the boxed set that I have.

REALLY fancy cards in this set.

I’ll figure it out after the new box arrives.

Stay tuned!
