On-Deck Baseball

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Chris S.

Oh no, here we go again…

I’m a sucker for these kind of games, baseball with a fictional aspect to it.

This comes with a 6-team league of 25 players each, and this unboxing video kinda sold me on the product.

I guess we’ll see how much play this one gets when it arrives.

Stay tuned!

’21 vs. ’71

Posted on March 26, 2021 by Chris S.

I have now played more games (45) in my 1971 San Francisco Giants replay than I’ve played games (44) in my 1921 New York Giants.

I started the 1921 replay 7 years ago.

I started the 1971 replay 2 years ago.

My goal is to finish one of these replays by the end of the year, 50 or 100 years after the given season.

I’ll consider it a bonus if I can finish both replays.

Stay tuned!

Rest in Peace, champ.
