News Brief

Renovations Coming to PepsiCo Park: The rumored color change will happen soon.  A darker shade of (Pepsi) blue will be the official color of the stadium.  In addition, there will be a few more imaginary skyboxes and seats added to the stadium.  Ticket prices are expected to remain the same.

MGD Strikes Again: Not so much a new game (for Multiple Game Disorder), but the Silverado Golf Course has been ordered for ASG Golf, even though I have the course set in History Maker Golf.

SFBAL Schedule: It appears a 90-game schedule will be played, with the 10 teams playing each other twice.  Schedule particulars will be announced later.

Stay tuned!

 

SFBAL Inaugural Game

I’ve decided to make this a 10-team league, with an expansion team coming out of Santa Cruz County: the Santa Cruz Slugs!

I played a game between the Bay City Armadillos and the Daly City Fog.

Final from Serramonte Center:

Now that I’ve played the game I find that it’s a pretty good game engine, more than a quick play game, but less play time than most of the other tabletop baseball games that I’ve tried.  This may simply be a casual play league, with no real organized format or playoffs or even a championship.  Unless I change my mind.

Stay tuned!

For my next trick…

I think I get more enjoyment out of creating sports leagues than actually playing them.

The latest: the San Francisco Bay Area League, to be played out in Deadball.

The 8-team league consists of teams from the largest cities in the 8 counties surrounding San Francisco.

The teams and their home stadiums:

Concord Jazz, Six Flags Waterworld Stadium
Daly City Fog, Serramonte Center
Napa Vintners, Bill Buckner Field @ Silverado
Oakland Larks, Lake Merritt Park
San Jose Piranha, Cisco Stadium
San Rafael Porgs, Skywalker Ranch
Santa Rosa Herons, Coddingtown Mall Park
Vallejo Commodores, Sutter Health Park

Play will begin sometime in the future.

Stay tuned!
