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!

In Progress

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

Stay tuned!

Seasonal Additions

Thanks to PLAAY.com’s Holiday sale, the following will be added to my long list of unplayed sports seasons:

  • MLB 1999 post-season for History Maker Baseball
  • NHL 1957-58 season for Hockey Blast
  • SCRAM-B 2018 season for Red White & Blue Racing
  • EPL 2017-18 season for Soccer Blast

I’m guessing that I’ll play 1999 or SCRAM-B first.

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!

1974: John D’Acquisto, Game 7

May 8, 1974

Shea Stadium, Flushing, NY

Final from Shea Stadium:

Complete game shutout for John D’Acquisto, with home runs by Bobby Bonds and Garry Maddox.

 

D’Acquisto: win, record now 4-2 (actual result: loss, record: 2-3)

Next game: May 13, 1974: John D’Acquisto vs. Don Gullett @ Riverfront Stadium

Stay tuned!

Mail Call

Two items from PLAAY.com in the mail:

  • History Maker Baseball 5.0 rule book and game book: updated rules/charts and stuff, good prompt to get me back into this game
  • Red White & Blue Racin’ 2018 SCRAM season set: currently running the 2016 season, may get the 2017 season before starting this one

How many racing series can I concurrently run before going nuts?  I’m doing 3 so far.

And perhaps I should also revisit the Bay Area Baseball League, while I’m at it.

Stay tuned!

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!
