Another Side Project?

But aren’t they all?

Inspired by Mike Yastrzemski’s visit to Fenway Park, and his reunion with this grandpa, Carl, I think I may do a 1967 Red Sox replay.

I have so many 1967 sets to choose from, after all.  But it’ll probably be Ball Park Baseball.  On second thought, I think I’ll use one of the other game systems, but I’m not sure which one yet.

I wanna see if I can get Yaz to win the Triple Crown.

Stay tuned!

Gooden ’85 – Update

I spent way too much time Monday night trying to get the damn BallScore/BallStat programs to get this replay back together, but it simply wouldn’t do it.

The last issue that I had after figuring out how to force the played games scoresheets to export was that it kept showing the Phillies with 2 wins even though they had only played and won 1 game against the Mets.

I tried removing just that game via BallStat, and when it was reimported, it gave the Mets a 2-3 record even though this was game 3 of the replay.

Arrrgh.

So I went and reset the league and then completely deleting it and the auto backup from my PC.  A new 1985 Dwight Gooden replay has been created, rosters have been imported and adjusted with starting lineups, and tonight I will once again attempt to play 1-2 games from this replay.

Stay tuned!

Slow

Muddling my way through a game using Inside Pitch.

I’ve been playing so much Ball Park Baseball that it’s hard to adjust to another game, but it’s slowly coming back to me.

I actually did a ‘save game’ with the BallScore app because it was taking me so long to play.  I may stop again tonight.

Arrgh.  These games are supposed to be for me to relax, not feel like work.

Stay tuned.

In Progress

I have decided that these will be the projects that I will focus on for the time being.

Stay tuned!

1909: On Hold

I came up with the rosters for the Deadball 1909 league, but then decided not to build it further for now, since I still have:

  • 1967 SF Giants season replay
  • 1917 MLB replay
  • 1921 NY Giants replay
  • 1967 Denver Broncos replay
  • 1958 NFL replay
  • 1979 Winston Cup replay
  • 2016 SCRAM season
  • 2016 SCRAM trucks season

on top of the Deadball 2018 SFBAL season.

That’s a lot of stuff. That list doesn’t even include the mini-replays (John D’Acquisto rookie season, Doc Gooden Cy Young season, various Giant-Dodgers replays, MLB Postseason replays, etc.).

And then there’s the occasional golf tournament, wrestling event and boxing match.

And the non-sports table top games.

So little time.

The Deadball 1909 season may or may not ever materialize.  At least not in the near future.

Stay tuned!

Goals?

I toyed with the idea of setting up a goal of finishing 50% of each of my current projects by the middle of the year.

But then I realized that this could turn this more into a chore than a hobby.

So I’ll make it a not-so-strict goal, with the baseball projects taking priority.

And I still plan to start the 1917 full season replay sometime soon.

Stay tuned!

Now, where were we?

This is a new beginning for this particular site, so I’m not sure if I’ll post previous stuff, or just continue on from where the last site left off.

Which would mean these replays:

  • 1921 NY Giants season (Payoff Pitch Baseball)
  • 1967 San Francisco Giants season (Ball Park Baseball)
  • 1967 Denver Broncos season (Second Season)
  • 1974 John D’Acquisto season (History Maker Baseball)
  • 1979 Winston Cup Racing Series (Red White & Blue Racing)
  • 1984 Dwight Gooden Rookie season (Replay Baseball)
  • 1985 Doc Gooden Cy Young season (Inside Pitch Baseball)
  • 1990 Harbaugh ‘What if?’ scenario (Second Season)

These were the ones I was focusing on before the other site was hacked, so I’ll be playing these soon enough.

Stay tuned!
