The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I have now played more games (45) in my 1971 San Francisco Giants replay than I’ve played games (44) in my 1921 New York Giants.
I started the 1921 replay 7 years ago.
I started the 1971 replay 2 years ago.
My goal is to finish one of these replays by the end of the year, 50 or 100 years after the given season.
I’ll consider it a bonus if I can finish both replays.
Stay tuned!
When I have time, I’ll play an entire series and post about it.
Though it was about 6 days between playing the first two games.
Welcome to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field!
Finals scores, Games 38-40:
The Cubs sweep the Giants in 3 games at home.
Next up: The Giants travel to Houston for a visit to the Astrodome.
Stay tuned!
Final from Candlestick Park:
The Giants win it in extra innings with 2 home runs by Bobby Bonds, including the game winner in the bottom of the 10th. Gaylord Perry goes 10 innings for the complete game win.
Next: the Giants go on the road, first stop is Chicago for a series with the Cubs.
Stay tuned!
It just occurred to me that my two current Giants season replays are 1971 and 1921.
Fifty and one hundred years ago, and 50 years apart.
Much like the 1967 and 1917 replays, one of which I had finished (1967) and the other (1917), well, I still have over 1200 games to go…
But I think it’s possible to finish one or maybe both ’71 and ’21 replays by year’s end, IF I commit to playing both more often.
We’ll see how it goes.
Stay tuned!
I was about to start a 4th full season team replay, with the 1978 SF Giants, until I realized that I had already started a 1977 SF Giants replay. That’s too close, even for me.
What to do, what to do.
And then I remember my original plan of re-replaying my first ever sports replay, with the 1988 New York Mets.
Stay tuned!
