Time Travel Baseball

Last week I had an itch to play this, one of the many games that have been collecting dust on my shelf since 2014.

I wasn’t sure where I put it, and almost bought a new copy of the game.

Instead I bought a PDF of the 1890 Players League that I’d print out later, once I figured out how to play the game again.

Today I found the box where I moved the game parts and player cards, and what did I find along with those items?

A PRINTED set of the 1890s Players League, which is weird because I went through my past orders at Downey Games and didn’t find it listed, which I why I decided to get the PDF copy.

Ah well.

I also found the position player card and the pitcher’s card with my name one it, should I feel the need to include myself on a team in the game.

And I did manage to play a game, back when I bought it.

I’ve already missed 2 days of my ‘game-a-day’ plan for this year, and adding this game into the mix may not be the smartest idea.

We’ll see.

Stay tuned!

New Plan

I want to take a chunk out of all the baseball replays I’m currently running, so I’m going to try to play one game a night for as long as I can do that.

If I were more focused last year I would have finished at least one of these replays.

I have about 3 where I’m close to 40-50 games in, so I’ll start there, though I think I may start the 1986 dual replay that I’ve been itching to play, tonight.

Stay tuned!

1921: Giants Replay, Game 49

Posted on by

Final from Crosley Field:

Giants drop 2 to the Reds.

These were the first two games played with a set of all-new charts from Sideline Strategy, including expanded rare play charts.

The rare play charts may have cost the Giants the second game, as Slim Sallee was tossed after arguing a called ball 4 against Lew Fonseca, who eventually scored the winning run on a sac fly by Bubbles Hargrove.

Next up: the Giants go to St. Louis to play a series against the Cardinals.

Stay tuned!
