1967: Giants Replay, Game 79
The hero for the Mets: Jerry Grote and his go-ahead home run in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Finish What You Started
That’s a goal of mine right now. Enough sitting on my hands about what I should be playing. I simply need to get these done before starting something new.
Which is why I’m focusing on the various racing series that I started a couple of years ago. They have the shortest schedules and an average play time of about 30-45 minutes, so I should be able to finish these fairly quickly.
The Pepsi Cup truck series is the shortest, with 18 races and 5 of them already run.
SCRAM 2016 and Winston Cup 1979 are 30+ races each.
Then I can move on to the various baseball replays, starting with the John D’Acquisto rookie season replay. And I really want to play and finish the 1967 San Francisco Giants season replay.
There will be pauses for football (NFL/AFL/CFL), boxing, and non-sports games as well.
Stay tuned!

Double-header in Philly!
Finals from Shibe Park:
Game 1:
Game 2:
What’s worse than losing a game by walking in the winning run?
Hitting a batter with the bases loaded, which is exactly what Lindy McDaniel did. He plunked Dick Allen with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 12th to hand the win to the Phillies.
