I have two sims that I've worked on recently.

One is a 1968 Bob Gibson replay, game by game of his most dominant season (ERA+ of 258 WHIP of 0.853):

The other is a [b:36b2138d3e]Franchise By Decade[/b:36b2138d3e] tournament, assigning players by decade to the franchise that they played the most for in each decade. I simmed 10 leagues in each decade, and then selected the best teams for a champions league. I am through the 1960s and I am now working on the 1970s.

ENJOY!

Pretty cool.

I remember it well as a teenager in '68 and '67 living here in St Louis.

Most notable was seeing Gibson in '67 shut-out the Sawx in game 4 of the Series; that was the year Clemente (I believe) earlier in the summer had broke Gibson's leg with a line drive off his shin, and he was out for a considerable amount of time. But then he came back to win 2 or 3 games in the series at the end of the season and then his phenominal run in '68. He was something else.
Still is - shows up on telecasts once in a while and he's still a real "Hoot!"
