The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Felt like playing Statis Pro Baseball today, so I dug it out and played the second game of the Giants’ 1979 season.
Final from Riverfront Stadium:
9th inning heroics by both teams, but the Reds end up winning on a wild pitch by Greg Minton.
Alas.
Eight years between games of this replay, so I don’t know if/when I’ll continue this one.
