In preparation of the arrival of the new APBA Baseball box, I began to put together the lineups for Opening Day 1986 for the Mets and the Giants.<\/p>\n
I looked up the lineups for the Mets-Pirates season opener on April 8th, 1986, started to sort out the lineups, and found that the 1986 set does not have Steve Kemp carded for the Pirates.<\/p>\n
Hmph.\u00a0 I hate when that happens, but there you go.<\/p>\n
So I started looking at possible solutions.<\/p>\n
Option 1:\u00a0 purchase the updated 1986 APBA Baseball Season set, where all players are carded.<\/p>\n
Nope.\u00a0 Not interested in purchasing any new APBA Baseball sets.<\/p>\n
Option 2: play the game with Payoff Pitch Baseball 1986, where Kemp *is* carded.<\/p>\n
Possible\/probable route I’ll take, as I was thinking of rolling home games using APBA and away games using Payoff Pitch.<\/p>\n
Option 3: same as #2, but just sub players in when playing APBA.<\/p>\n
More probable since I had to do that with some games\/players in my Ball Park Baseball 1971 SF Giants replay.<\/p>\n
Option 4: APBA only and sub players as needed.<\/p>\n
Most probable if I only want to use one game system.\u00a0 Which I kinda do, at least with either or both the Mets or Giants.<\/p>\n
For starters I think I’ll play with the APBA Baseball 1986 season, basic set, with advanced fielding rules.<\/p>\n
I’d like to also score these games by hand, there’s a website called Digital Dugout that will print out a blank scoresheet with lineups for any ball game from 1906 to now, but BallStat makes it easier on my arthritis and stat keeping.<\/p>\n
I’ll figure it out after the new box arrives.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
