Final from San Diego Stadium:
The Giants lose their first game of the year.
Monthly Archives: June 2025

The first replay, nay, the first replay GAME that I ever bought was 1989’s Pursue the Pennant.
It came with the 1988 season, which I replayed the New York Mets’ season in it’s entirety, all the way through the 1988 NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Mets.
Over the years I bought every season that they produced, including an old time set with sepia-tone stadium inserts.
I believe the last set made was the 1994 season and the game became Dynasty League Baseball, which I believe I did pick up, along with the 1995 season.
Except for a few old-time card games, I never did play with any of the other seasons after collecting them all.
In 2012 I started playing Strat-O-Matic, among other baseball games, leaving Pursue the Pennant/Dynasty League behind.
While I kept the core boxes for both games, I believe all of the season sets have been lost in the move out from the house last year.
Flash forward to this year, where I recalled that the Dodgers and Mets again played in the previous season’s NLCS, and I pulled the trigger and picked up the 40th anniversary edition of Pursue the Pennant/Dynasty League, with the intention of replaying the 2024 New York Mets season, much as I did back in 1989.
Stay tuned!

It took me a couple of days to finish a game, only because of finding the free time to do so, all told, I can probably finish off a game in 90 minutes to 2 hours.
I do need to pay attention to what stats I want to track, and I need to remember to actually sub out starters with bench players.
The game comes with 2 boards, one for 5 players per team, one for 10 players for team, the latter is supposed to allow for those to players to generated stats, the former requires you to keep track of minutes played and manually swap out players. The 10 per team board is what I used , and maybe 2 ‘bench’ players had generated any shots or fouls.
I do like how this game plays more than any other basketball game that I’ve tried, though it’s a small sample, and only a couple of games played in any other system.
I’ll probably even replay this match up just to get the stats/players right.
Stay tuned!
