With Ball Park baseball closing it’s doors at the end of the month, I decided to order on more season from them.

I further decided to order some obscure season that no other table top baseball game company has available.

And I found the inspiration for my selection from a most obscure source.

Yesterday (August 20th) was Jonathan Ke Quan’s birthday.  He’s the actor who played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

In the movie he wears a 1928 New York Giants ‘Away’ team cap.

So I’m going to get the 1928 MLB season.

And I’ve come up with a new way to run through a season, which I may try with other full seasons that I own.

Instead of replaying one team’s season schedule, I’ll start off the season with the Giants, play the opening series against the Boston Braves, and then the next series I play will be the Boston Braves against their next opponent, followed by the Braves’ opponent against whoever is playing them next.

I’m trying to figure out how to jump leagues, from National to American.  Maybe instead of the Braves, the second series should be the Red Sox and their opponent, flipping whenever two teams share a city (Giants/Yankees, Braves/Red Sox, Phillies/Athletics, Cardinals/Browns, Cubs/White Sox).

I’ll have this worked out by the time I get around to this 1928 season.  Which will probably be in a few years.

Stay tuned!
