2017

One of my resolutions for sports gaming IN 2017 is to stop buying new games/seasons, with the exception of History Maker Golf, which goes on sale in a couple of days.

That said, I made one final purchase for my existing games: the 2010 MLB season for Ball Park Baseball.  Amazingly, I had that season in one system, Scoreboard Baseball, which is a quick-play game.

What’s so special about that year, anyway?

Something something something WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.

Stay tuned!

Game Time

I think 3 weeks since my last game play is long enough.

And it’s been too long since I played with the 1921 Giants, so that’s what’s gonna be on deck for tomorrow, at the earliest.  I’m also itching to get back to the 1967 Giants replay.

What’s weird is that I just checked where I am in the 1921 and 1967 Giants replays, and both teams are playing the Cubs, second game of a series, NY at home, SF away.

Stay tuned!

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.
