The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
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.
The Facebook favorites:
Stay tuned!
The following items arrived at the office during my week off:
Ball Park Baseball: 1950 MLB season and 3 stadiums that I needed for other seasons
From PLAAY.com:
– History Maker Baseball: 1971 MLB season
– Second Season: 2001 XFL season (whut?)
– Red White & Blue Racing: 2016 NASCAR season
Stay tuned!
Dad was watching this movie when I got home tonight.
I checked History Maker Golf’s All-Time Great set, and neither golfer is in it. Someone else did make a home brew card of Harry Vardon, though. The golf course from the story is not available in any of the course sets.
The APBA Golf game came with both golfers in the ATG sets. The included course is not the site of the 1913 US Open, however.
I suppose once I figure out how to make golfers and golf courses for History Maker Golf, I can recreate Francis Oumet and the Country Club golf course in Brookline, Massachusetts. Unless someone beats me to it.
Stay tuned!
