1937

Posted on by

I swear, I spend more time planning and organizing these replay projects than actually playing them.

Though this one was in the planning stages long ago.

Since I was already replaying the Giants season in the year of my birth (1967), along with a full MLB replay from 50 years before that (1917), I had decided that I would, at some point, play out the Giants season replay of the year my Dad was born (1937).

I’m organizing it now, though it’s on the back burner along with a couple dozen other replays.

Stay tuned!

Ball Park Baseball

I just read on Facebook and on the Delphi forums that Ball Park Baseball ceased operations yesterday.  They will stop taking orders on August 15th.

I have enough seasons to keep me busy for years to come, but it’s a shame that they were close to releasing an updated version of the game, along with an online version, and parties involved had a falling out.

The 1917 and 1971 season replays will continue sometime soon.

Stay tuned.

SFBAL -> SFBABL

Because ‘Ess Eff Babble’ sounds better.

The San Francisco Bay Area League is now the San Francisco Bay Area Baseball League.

Because I may create the SFBAFL later, with Pen & Paper Football.  Who knows.

Anyways, the slate of games for the rest of ‘SFBABL Week 2’, played on April 23rd, 2018:

Santa Rosa Herons vs. Santa Cruz Slugs @ the Santa Cruz Beach-Boardwalk
San Jose Piranha vs. San Rafael Porgs @ Skywalker Ranch
Concord Jazz vs. Bay City Armadillos @ PepsiCo Park
Napa Vinters vs. Vallejo Commodores @ Sutter Health Park

I’m finally adapting the new rules from Deadball II into my game play, which will mostly affect… most of the game.  Heh.

Hopefully I’ll get to these games this week.

Stay tuned!

Since this league plays on Mondays only, all players are available to play, including all pitchers, starters or relievers.

There is a starting pitching rotation that the teams use, and since all relievers are on 6 days rest, they can be used in the following game.  Starters will only relieve if absolutely necessary (read: probably never).

The 5 bench players will be rotated into the starting lineups as the season goes on.

A barnstorming team will be created to play games against the other 10 teams, with no impact on the league standings.

The championship will be the top teams from each division (East and West).  They will play a best of 3 series, again played on Mondays only, in order to allow the full bullpen to be available.
