1979 Winston Cup

Posted on January 19, 2018 by Chris S.

It’s a month away from the Daytona 500.

I may not watch NASCAR anymore, but I’m still a race fan, so it’s high time I got back to my 1979 Winston Cup replay.

Next up: the Winston 500 from the Alabama International Motor Speedway in Talladega (May 6, 1979).

Stay tuned!

1984

Posted on September 8, 2017 by Chris S.

I’m gonna try my best to finish this Gooden rookie season replay this weekend.

Truth be told, while I enjoy playing these games in general, I miss playing Ball Park Baseball. And I vowed to not to bounce around game systems unless I finish these smaller projects (less than 40 games).

So after I finish this one, it’s back to 1917 and 1967 for a while, and then I continue the John D’Acquisto rookie season replay.

Stay tuned!

Silverado Foursome

I played a round of golf last night!

The venue:

The players:

Calvin Peete

Mike Souchak

Jay Herbert

Nick Price

The results:

It was close at the halfway point, but then Price birdied on 4 of the last 6 holes and ran away with the win.

And like some of my other table top games (sports and war), I learned something that I didn’t know, this time it was about the man named Calvin Peete, the most successful African-American golfer prior to Tiger Woods.

A round.

Current Goal

Posted on July 10, 2017 by Chris S.

Finish the 1984 Gooden Rookie Season by the end of August.

25 games to go. I think I can do it, if I pace myself, and allow for playing other solitaire sport or war games.

Then maybe I can tackle the rest of the 1974 D’Acquisto Rookie Season by Halloween.

Stay tuned!

Stubs

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Chris S.

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.
