I’ve been neglecting my other replays. Time to get back to the other, non-baseball ones.
Gentlemen, start your engines…
Stay tuned!

While I was out…
The following items arrived at the office during my week off:
Ball Park Baseball: 1950 MLB season and 3 stadiums that I needed for other seasons
From PLAAY.com:
– History Maker Baseball: 1971 MLB season
– Second Season: 2001 XFL season (whut?)
– Red White & Blue Racing: 2016 NASCAR season
Stay tuned!
1917: April 12
1917
If there’s anything I’m learning from playing this 1917 MLB replay, it’s that the game was played very differently (obviously) back then.
I’ve started play on day two, and in the game I’m currently playing (Senators @ Athletics), I just had the weirdest double play that I’ve ever seen:
Bases loaded, 1 out. I try a suicide squeeze, resulting in a strikeout and the runner on third getting caught stealing home.
I think this season replay is teaching me how to play this game better, in general. I’d ignore the solitaire charts in my 1958 replay, and slowly started using them in my 1967 replay, but I’m using them whole hog in the 1917 replay.
Day two results should be posted shortly.
Stay tuned!
1967: Giants Replay, Game 35

Box Seat Baseball: 1971
As suggested by my brother Robert, I went and ordered the Easy Play game components for Box Seat Baseball, because I’ve had trouble trying to wrap my head around the Under the Hood version of this game.
Hopefully I’ll then be able to start my 1971 pitcher replays, or at least one of them.
Stay tuned!
The Greatest Game Ever Played
Dad was watching this movie when I got home tonight.
I checked History Maker Golf’s All-Time Great set, and neither golfer is in it. Someone else did make a home brew card of Harry Vardon, though. The golf course from the story is not available in any of the course sets.
The APBA Golf game came with both golfers in the ATG sets. The included course is not the site of the 1913 US Open, however.
I suppose once I figure out how to make golfers and golf courses for History Maker Golf, I can recreate Francis Oumet and the Country Club golf course in Brookline, Massachusetts. Unless someone beats me to it.
Stay tuned!
