Why, It's Baseball Season!

[billroper]

Playing APBA baseball with cards and dice means that you can play in almost any weather, although you don't get nearly the amount of exercise that you do at the real game. Given that it was 30 degrees and snowy here today, APBA looked pretty good, exercise or no.

I played six consecutive one-run games and went 2-1 in each 3 game series, scoring a total of 14 runs, 7 runs in the last four games.

It was the land that offense forgot. The final game was 1-0, with Clemens and Gagne combining on the shutout. (And this wasn't Cy Young winner Clemens from 2004; this was his mediocre final season with the Yankees.)

Sounds great. I have a couple of APBA seasons from the late 70's (a.k.a. back when the Jays had every reason to be lousy).

More than APBA, I played Extra Innings and especially Sports Illustrated's All-Time All-Star game. I really liked the idea of team rosters that spanned baseball's history...its history as of about 1971, at least.

I wish I had more time to pull out my Strat-O-Matic cards. Many fun hours spent with those...
