Welcome!

This site is to share events, simulated and historical, experienced and learned, during my re-creation of classic baseball seasons. See the links below for previous replays. And the memories are not just for the summertime as I am also replaying the NFL and AFL seasons of the Super Bowl era using Second and Ten football.

The current replay is 1968 using Diamond Mind Baseball. Travel back with our narrator using the Archives drop-down list on the right to read his comments and views on the events, baseball and otherwise, of 1968. Enjoy!

The WordPress format of this web site passed the two-month milestone on Saturday. The 1967 football replay is complete, and the final standings and stats can be found at the links on the left. Reports of the playoffs “a second time through the order” will soon follow.

I wanted to take a moment to explain the “Which baseball season would you like to see a Second Time through the Order?” poll question. Thanks to all who have voted, and please continue to do so while the poll is still up. Baseball is the replay sport of choice here. As the opening month of this baseball season has unfolded, the itch to replay baseball grows. I do not want to mislead anyone with the question.  The poll question is not meant to be for the next replay season.

Twelve Ballparks and Counting

This started with Russ Smith’s “Seventeen Ballparks and Counting” piece and continued with Shysterball and wezen-ball. I have made trips, including a day trip last summer to NYC, for the sole purpose of visiting ball parks. My [...]
