I think I figured out why I’m not too interested in playing the 1939 Giants replay.

It’s too close to the 1917 MLB replay.

At least in my mind.

So, I’m going to suspend the 1939 season replay, and start another replay in a year that’s near and dear to me.

That’s the 1971 San Francisco Giants team card from Topps.

1971 was the year I remember going to a baseball game for the first time.  This may or may not be true.

1971 was the year a rookie by the name of Chris Speier started playing for the Giants.

1971 was the year the Giants lost the NLCS to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I’m also going to switch games from Ball Park Baseball to Box Seat Baseball.  That game as been collecting dust for about 5 years now (along with way too many other sports games) and I think it’s high time I finally learned how to play it.

Stay tuned!

1971

For some reason I was pricing out the cost of the 1971 season for Ball Park Baseball.

And then I remembered that I already owned that season, in a game system that I have yet to try: Box Seat Baseball.

My brother Rob has told me that this is a good game, but I’ve been caught up in my various replays in other game engines.

I think it’s time to figure out how to play this one, starting with game one of the first of three pitcher replays that I have planned for this season:
