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!
