The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I went and bought yet another season for Ball Park Baseball, from yet another person on the Delphi forums. Surprisingly it was a year that I didn’t have in any other game system.
There’s no New York Knights team, or Roy Hobbs, but it’s the same season that the movie The Natural took place.
Stay tuned!
For some reason I’ve felt the need to play a quick-play baseball game, and not my old standby, Scoreboard Baseball. As much as I like that game, the oldest season available is 1956.
Enter another game that I’ve owned for a couple of years and never played a full game: Roster Card Baseball. Like Scoreboard, the teams are represented on one sheet, and a 2d10 and d6 die roll determines the outcome of a given at bat. This makes it a bit more than a simple quick-play, which is probably why I never got that deep into it.
I bought about a couple dozen seasons from them over the past couple of years, through various sales, including the decade of the 1910’s. I hadn’t printed out a bunch of these seasons, but today I arbitrarily printed out the 1942 and 1960 seasons, and I’m about to play a few games using the 1942, perhaps a World Series replay.
Stay tuned!
Something I forgot to do before I started my 1917 MLB replay was to reverse all transactions per team, to get opening day rosters.
And because of lower limits of who gets carded in Ball Park Baseball, I’m going to have to make some creative adjustments to some of these starting lineups.
I’m almost done with Opening Day.
Stay tuned!
31 games played in each replay.
New York Giants 1921: 2 and a half years to get to that point.
San Francisco Giants 1967: 6 months to get to that point.
Granted, I was replaying the 1958 San Francisco Giants season while playing the 1921 replay, as well as the 1967 ‘daily’ replay with Scoreboard Baseball.
We’ll see which Giants replay gets finished first.
Stay tuned!
