1921: Giants Replay, Game 34

Posted on by

Almost a year between games in this replay.  Hopefully It won’t be that long until the next one.

Final from Braves Field:

As always , it took a couple of innings to get back into the rhythm and flow of a game that I hadn’t played in a few months.

The new, printed 1921 season set is a nice upgrade from the old PDF set that I printed 6 years ago.  For one thing I think more players are included, for another a team of 1921 Negro Leaguers was included.  Not sure what I’m going to do with them yet, maybe have them play each of the MLB teams in the set.

Stay tuned!

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

Posted on by

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.

Final from the Polo Grounds:

A real pitcher’s duel until the bottom of the 8th.  I may have left O’Dell in too long, yeah?

I don’t know how often I’ll play this project, I haven’t even come up with a schedule.

Stay tuned!
