The 1988 New York Mets season was the first season replay that I ever played, using the Pursue the Pennant game system.
30 years later I’ve decided to revisit and replay my replay, using the Inside Pitch game system.
Stay tuned!

Taking a cue from my brother, I went ahead and ordered a few individual teams before the company shuts down for good.
- 1973 Mets and Athletics
- 1989 Giants and Athletics
- 2015 Mets and Royals
At the very least I’ll replay those World Series match ups, and probably create a World Series teams tournament as well.
I was considering ordering another full season, but decided against it after reviewing the planned single team season replays I have, which is about 22 of them. Yikes.
Stay tuned!

1987: Opening Day
2 games on my desktop:
Game 1:
Final from Candlestick Park:
Despite a strong outing by Mike Krukow, the Giants drop the home opener to the Padres.
Game 2:
Final from Shea Stadium:
The Mets pound the Pirates, with late back-to-back home runs by Mex and the Kid, for an Opening Day win.
I’ll probably play a couple of games from the 1967 Giants replay next.
Stay tuned!

September 12, 1984: Pirates vs. Mets @ Shea Stadium
Final from Shea Stadium:
Main highlight of the game was an inside-the-park home run by Lee Lacy. I don’t think I’ve had that happen before in any of my table top games.
No decision for Gooden in the Mets’ win. Record stays at 19-2 (actual record: 16-8)
Next opponent: Gooden vs Rawley @ Veteran’s Stadium
Stay tuned!
