thanks Al. Well done review. I want to update the audience just a bit on the new combo (Dice and FAC) version. The rules are combined so its easy to find answers no matter your play style. In addition we reduced the number of charts so that speeds the play just a bit more.

Has anyone incorporated a home brew rule to factor in a pitch out with a base steal situation in play? If a pitch out is called with the runner attempting to steal, would you decrease the steal rating by a letter grade? If a pitch out is called and the runner holds, the likelihood of the batter drawing a walk should increase marginally. How would that be factored in? Maybe if the subsequent action results in a reading from the In Play section of the batters card and a 2d10 roll is an even number with the 1st integer of that number an even number and this number falls outside the In Play number range on the batters card, then instead of reading from the Out section of the card, the batter draws a base on balls? Did I explain that articulately? What do you think? It's just that this game, which I love, and Statis Pro, my other favorite game, both ignore this 'defensive option' for combating steal attempts and I find that to be a short coming.

Al, I just started my 1977 Cubs replay with payoff pitch. The player card quality is top notch. Even though they are black and white, they look much better than the pdf sets I have printed. Opening day went scoreless for 14 innings until Cubs won it in the bottom of the 15th on a Bobby Murcer double. Game 2 had the unusual play result from flipping a 0. Backup catcher George Mitterwald was ejected in the 2nd inning arguing a walk. Had to insert starter Steve Swisher who, wouldn't you know it, Homers in the bottom of the inning. Cubs win game two by a 3-2 score with Bruce Sutter getting his 1st save. If I can figure out how to do it, I thought about posting a full game from my Cubs replay on you tube. The only camera I have is my android phone so not sure how well it will turn out. A good game to try it on may be game 4 when the Cubs travel to the Vet to play your Phillies. I am using as played lineups so the first game is Bill Bonham vs Wayne Twitchell.

Clear, comprehensive, and nicely made. Thanks for doing this.

Al: Excellent review as always! Just to add a couple of points: batter cards come with pitching splits or non splits and pdf cards can be printed in colour for those with that preference. Thanks!

Nice review of one of my favorite baseball games. One quick correction. You don't add the DP ratings of the batter and pitcher together. Instead, you compare the 2d6 roll to both ratings individually to determine if the double play occurs. In your case the DP ratings were 6 and 8, so the roll/FAC would have needed to be 6 or less for a DP. Also, thanks for another shout out to the Delphi community. I see a spike in activity over at Table Top Sports every time you do. It's nice to get some new blood over there and your reviews definitely do that.

Really good demo you have done!!

Good review; bought the pdf set. Also, nice kitchen, lots of space.

Those 1977 Dodgers were the first team I followed (as an 8 year old)... and I remain a Dodgers fan to this day!

Great review Al. Still not sold on the randomness of FAC cards, that might just be me though. On average how long does it take you to play a game?

Al, nice video, bud! lot like statis pro for sure, probably going to buy it because of you. I have used soo many of your created parks for Replay and they are the BEST! Also, like your parks for history maker, too. you are the best! Tim

Al. Excellent video. I wanted to get the 1977 season but it is currently out of print so I may order the 1982 season instead. I want the cards without having to print my own. You used a fancy word that I have never heard before when you were describing the game pieces. Specifically, the game mat. I can't spell it but it sounded like "ecoucherments". What does that word mean? Also, when ordering a season set, are the cards in perforated in sheets to be separated or are they loose? Thanks again for the nice video. I bought History maker baseball after watching your video of it. I am on the 1977 white sox replay now.

Al, If I can put you on the spot, What are your top five favorite baseball games?, Also do you play any other sports games, if so which one's are your non baseball favorites ?. Thank you and you are so appreciated. Your passion and respect for the subject matter is very inspiring.

Hi Al, just found your channel and have been binge watching it . Your awesome and doing some great work. I was wondering if you could only play 2 baseball board games, which two would you pick. I was thinking of getting a strat and apba board. Right or wrong decision in you opinion? Thank you and keep up the good work!

This game looks terrific. The "anticipation" of the result between the pitcher's card and the batter's card -- something Strat-o-Matic doesn't offer -- is the essence of baseball and this game might have figured that out. And the lefty/right splits is something APBA and History Maker Baseball almost completely ignore. This seems like the perfect game and what I have been looking for in a tabletop baseball experience. Curious, Al: How does this game stack up against Strat-o and HMB?

Al, do you know what the card size is on these? I was thinking about going PDF first to see if I like the game, but thought I would definitely want to sleeve the players. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the review. The cards do look well-made. Computer games are great, but I still also enjoy handling cards and dice. Is this game designed to allow a solo gamer to play without having to try and make decisions for both offense and defense?

2 AM and I’m watching this. I will go play a game now. Who needs sleep?

You really explain these very well. So far, I know want to play History Maker and Payoff Pitch from your demos. If you had to pick, which one do you like better? Believe it or not, I still play Statis.

After thinking that Strat, Replay, History Maker, and Roster Card Baseball were enough for my collection I watched your video. My wife and wallet sarcastically thank you. Looks like a quick game, which I love. How long does a typical 9 innings take you to play?

Good review.... Question - are there any game play decisions besides lineup? Thank you.

I did not see what happens when there is an error. Can anyone explain all that happens? If there is a video showing that somewhere it would be appreciated. Anyway thanks for this video. I have wanted to buy this for awhile and wanted to see more on this again. Unfortunately for me this company is not in Canada otherwise I would get the printed cards for sure.

Al, great review! can you tell me how does the quick results score sheet work?

Great stuff! Looks like a fast moving game. Thanks!

Hey Al how does this game stack up to Dynasty League Baseball? I'm looking for a baseball game and was set on Dynasty League, but after seeing this demo I'm not so sure. This game has the solo player in mind and is cheaper.
