Oldest Park in the NL

Posted on by

I was getting the stadium charts ready for the 1917 replay, and counted off 7 of 8 stadiums for the National League, based on the years printed on the charts.  I checked twice, and then realized that the missing stadium was already being used in my 1967 replay, and that I’d be using it for a 2010 replay, should I decide to play the Cubs.

1935 World Series

Wrigley Field opened in 1914, as the home of the Federal League’s Chicago Whales.  The Cubs began play at Wrigley in 1916.  They’ve called the “friendly confines” home since then.

I hope to play a few Opening Day (April 11, 1917) games this weekend.

AL Games:
CLE @ DET
BOS @ NYY
WSH @ PHA
CHW @ SLB

NL Games:
PHI @ BRO
PIT @ CHC
STL @ CIN

The Giants and Braves begin their season on April 12th.

Stay tuned!

Goals?

Posted on by

I toyed with the idea of setting up a goal of finishing 50% of each of my current projects by the middle of the year.

But then I realized that this could turn this more into a chore than a hobby.

So I’ll make it a not-so-strict goal, with the baseball projects taking priority.

And I still plan to start the 1917 full season replay sometime soon.

Stay tuned!
