The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
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.
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!
