Something different...

Down to All-Time Yankees v/s All-Time Reds. Sim, but still kind of interesting.

Been following this from the beginning. I confess to watching game 6 of the Reds/Dodgers series. Hoping the Reds can pull out the win today.

Even for a sim, always nice to see the Reds take down the Dodgers...

Now, a full 7 against the Yanks? Well... I like my Reds, but Ruth, Gehrig, Berra, Mantle, DiMaggio & company...

Norm had a rough one in Game 7. 4 straight walks - highly unusual, but it's a sim. Can't really debate against the All-Time Yanks. But that BRM was a special team indeed.

Still - a nice distraction while we await the Boys of Summer to hit the field again. Play Ball!

Cool, thanks for sharing. Brings back 2 memories. The old Avalon Hill/Sports Illustrated board
games. (Dice games like All Time All Star Baseball, College Football Bowl Bound)
The other memory was 1982 "The Greatest Game Never Played" broadcast by Jack Buck
and Lindsey Nelson. I heard it that night. Very cool for middle age technology.
Peace

Korean Baseball is on ESPN right now at odd hours of the day. If bat flips are your thing it's got a ton of those.

The Yankees have more Hall-of-Famers and more World Series titles in their history but The Big Red Machine was the best baseball team to ever take the field.
