1967: Giants Replay, Game 19
1967
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:
April 5, 1971, RFK Stadium: Blue vs. Bosman
Stay tuned!
1974: John D’Acquisto, Game 4
April 21, 1974: Giants @ Dodgers, Dodger Stadium
Final from Dodger Stadium:
Crazy game as the Giants jump out to an early lead, the Dodgers tying the game and taking the lead in the bottom of the 8th, and Mike Marshall blowing a save and walking in the winning run. Dave Kingman knocks in 2 with a homer for the Giants.
D’Acquisto’s record: 1-2 (no decision; actual: 2-1)
Next opponent: April 27, 1974: Swan vs. D’Acquisto @ Candlestick Park
Stay tuned!
Break
I had a game all set up on my table.
BallScore was ready to go on my computer.
I played a couple of innings. And then stopped.
And then I deleted the results of those two innings.
And then I shut down BallScore and put away the game I had set up.
I think I still need a break from table top sports games. I’m just not feeling it at the moment, though I’m not going to totally abandon them.
Or maybe I just need to not play baseball. This has happened before.
I’ll regroup and see what happens and how I feel in the next week or so.
Stay tuned!
1977: How about that?
On a whim, I ordered the 1st season of “This Week in Baseball” from Amazon.com. It covers the period of May 31st to September 20th, 1977.
I’m open to suggestions on any possible replay project for that season. I had planned to replay Steve Carlton’s 2nd Cy Young season, or perhaps the NL and AL postseason.
I’ll watch a few episodes before I decide.
Stay tuned!
1967: Giants Replay, Game 18
Final from Shea Stadium:
After giving up 2 runs on 3 hits in the first, Juan Marichal shuts down the Mets for the rest of the game, the only other base runner a result of an error. Marichal also goes 2-4 with a RBI. Willie Mays hits his first home run of the year to get the scoring started for the Giants.
Back to it
Now, where were we?
This is a new beginning for this particular site, so I’m not sure if I’ll post previous stuff, or just continue on from where the last site left off.
Which would mean these replays:
- 1921 NY Giants season (Payoff Pitch Baseball)
- 1967 San Francisco Giants season (Ball Park Baseball)
- 1967 Denver Broncos season (Second Season)
- 1974 John D’Acquisto season (History Maker Baseball)
- 1979 Winston Cup Racing Series (Red White & Blue Racing)
- 1984 Dwight Gooden Rookie season (Replay Baseball)
- 1985 Doc Gooden Cy Young season (Inside Pitch Baseball)
- 1990 Harbaugh ‘What if?’ scenario (Second Season)
These were the ones I was focusing on before the other site was hacked, so I’ll be playing these soon enough.
Stay tuned!
