Legends of Baseball League

Posted on June 14, 2020 by Chris S.

I get bored, sometimes I create a new replay project.

Like this one.

This was a Kickstarter project that I backed and received back in 2017. It’s been sitting on my shelf ever since.

I opened it up and found that the bubble wrap used for shipping was still in it, and the cards were still in the ziplock bags.

The game came with 8 16-player teams, 3 National League, 3 American League, and 2 Negro League.

The game also came with 3 extra cards as stretch goals: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Babe Ruth’s pitcher card. I added the cards to the teams semi randomly, Bonds to the first NL team, Clemens to the second AL team, and Ruth to the 3rd AL team.

In setting up the replay in BallStat, I added 1 Negro League team to each of the National and American leagues.

Team names are from the Atlas of the DC Universe from Mayfair Games and DC Wiki.

Central City Stars

Coast City Angels

Gotham Knights

Blüdhaven Bloodhounds

Metropolis Meteors

Midway City Chiefs

Star City Rockets

Keystone City Salamanders

I’m not sure how often I’ll play this league, but I do intend to learn how to play this one, soon.

Stay tuned!

Strat-O-Matic: ’62 Giants vs. ’54 Giants

Posted on April 18, 2020 by Chris S.

I went back to the roots of my recent table top sports hobby, and played a game with Strat-O-Matic Baseball.

PepsiCo Park was originally constructed from inspiration I found online for Strat-O-Matic players’ dice tower/trays, yet I played very few SOM games with this park, after getting into a plethora of other baseball games, most notably Ball Park Baseball.

I had planned to do a mini-replay/project with 6 teams: 4 Giants, 1 Yankees, 1 Mets.

So here is a game with the 1962 Giants against the 1954 Giants.
