Under Constuction

Pete and I were interested in continuing our Ball Park Baseball. I, definately more so than Pete, was interested in testing the outcomes of Ball Park Baseball with a statiscially significant and "realistic" scenario. A season replay seemed the obvious choice but given the unfeeling draw on our Ball Park Baseball time for work and family, how could we do so playing just a few games a month do so in a reasonalbe amount of time. Here is our solution.

How To Get It Done?

How to Make a Full Season Managable

We did not see the time in our future to play a minimum of 616 games

  • 154 game season with 8 teams per league and no interleague play totals to 616 games per season in the early years of the modern era
  • Given our realsitic ability to play six or eight games per month, it would take us nearly six and a half years to complete the season
  • We deemed this too long

Proposed Solution: One manager would take one team for the entire season and the other manager would be the "opposition force"


Hurdles: Pick a team and season interesting to both managers

Picking a Season and a Team

Which Seasons are Eligible for Our Replay?

  • Choose from "modern era" teams. We choose to start the "modern era" in 1919.
  • NO SEASONS WITH DESIGNATED HITTERS

Eligible Seasons: 1919 - 1972

Which Season and Team?

  • Jointly decide on a pool of teams
  • From the pool of teams, the focus team manager will choose three teams
  • From the three teams chosen by the focus team manager, the opposition manager will choose the focus team and he will manage the opposition squads from that season
