1969 was an interesting, challenging game, with lots of tough pitching and a limited pool of good hitters. In other words, the exact opposite of ATG, where your staff of Walter Johnsons is likely to wind up with a 5.00 ERA.

When's it coming back? It's an important alternative game, and it's been missing for far too long.

YEAH - what he said!

compared to 1968 it was steroid era hitting.

Time to roll 1969 back out!!!!

1969 was my first complete SOM set (including the extra cards). I can almost tell you every player on each team. The set DID NOT include Don Dysdale, Dick Radatz, Roy Face. maybe Tommy Davis I'm not sure. Billy Grabarkewitz had probably the worst batting card of all time (then had a career year in 1970).

bump......................what was that?


Must have been a............"dead skunk in the middle of the road, dead skunk in the middle of the road, and it's stinking it high to heaven!"

remember that tune?

bring back the 69 game

WOW...

A Loudon Wainwright III reference.

I never thought I would see the day...

I also liked the 1969 game. I had some of my biggest successes with that set. There was a dedicated group of managers that played constantly. People are still talking about the time I coached the 1969 Royals to the World Series in the Bottom 12 real teams theme league. My coaching was brilliant! The 69-93 Royals made it the World Series when all 3 of my Outfielders got hurt and all missed games 3 through 6.

OK--to be clear, "people" aren't really talking about it.....but I am!

Kev, You only won with the 1969 Royals because of Hawk "Superman" Taylor.

I sure with we had the 1969 game back too.
