The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
This is something that I was thinking of doing a couple of years back.
I came across a pair of ticket stubs from a Giants game from 43 years ago. Since I just happen to have the MLB season set from that year, I decided to replay this game.
Final from Candlestick Park:
2-5, run scored, 5 RBI, HR
I plan to do this more often, as I come across ticket stubs around the house.
Stay tuned!
May 4th, 1974
Welcome to Parc Jarry!
A head-to-head match up between two rookies…
Final from Parc Jarry:
The Giants’ bats come alive as D’Acquisto goes 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, with a pair of strikeouts, for the win.
D’Acquisto: win, record now 3-2 (actual result: loss, record: 2-2)
Next game: May 8, 1974: John D’Acquisto vs. Jon Matlack @ Shea Stadium
Stay tuned!
According to Facebook, today is the anniversary of the day that I received PLAAY Games’ History Maker Baseball in the mail.
That game, in addition to Strat-O-Matic Baseball, set me on my current hobby of table top sports.
I suppose I’ll pull that one out and play a game or two of the 1974 John D’Acquisto rookie season replay.
Stay tuned!
Yeah, this never has worked for me: setting up a schedule for what to play on any given day.
I had a table that I rolled dice one to try to determine what game I would play on a given night. Didn’t work, never stuck to it, and it was edited many times as I finished a given replay.
I want to try to organize my play between sports games and war games, so maybe I should just alternate my weekly focus from one to the other, because I’ve actually found myself frozen into inaction as I try to decide between the two hobbies. I end up doing neither and spending too much time online or wallowing in my own indecision.
So starting this week, I’ll continue with the war games (Bataan! is my primary focus), and switch to sports next week, just in time for the big racing day of 2017 (Monaco GP/Indy 500/World 600), which happens to fall on my sister’s birthday. Focus will be on baseball and (of course) racing games.
And maybe wrestling.
Stay tuned!
150 started, down to 12, 1 winner.
From Champions Course in Augusta, GA:
There is a way to calculate scores for every player in the All-Time Greats set that I used (150 golfers), but I decided not to do that.
This time.
I have about 17 courses now, so I may come up with an actual golf tour.
Stay tuned!
The Windows 10 400 from the Northwest Empire International Raceway
Race results and current standings:
A lot of cars involved in a late race incident, knocking a few drivers out of the race and many more to the back of the field to finish deep in the pack.
Next up: the Cross Tech 500 from the Northern Lights Motordome.
Star tuned!
So instead of Winston Cup 1979, I decided to go back to one of the 2016 fictional series that I started…
The Stock Car Racing America (SCRAM) Pepsi Cup Racing Series. TRUCK RACING!
Event #4: Windows 10 400 from the Northwest Empire International Raceway.
On the pole: Kelly Wiley in the #22 Honda Ridgeline.
