Final from Candlestick Park:
2 homers from McCovey and one from Dietz still couldn’t get the Giants a win.

I was looking through one of my game boxes and found that I had the 1979 MLB season for Statis Pro Baseball.
I then checked my BallStat scoring program to see if I had played any games from this season.
Sure enough, I did.
OPENING DAY 1979 FROM RIVERFRONT STADIUM
Great match up, too:
Final from Riverfront Stadium:
Vida Blue pitches a 4-hit shut out.
Taking a cue from my brother, I went ahead and ordered a few individual teams before the company shuts down for good.
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!
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.
