New Project: 1941 Replay Baseball Full Season Replay

 Yes, I keep starting projects then jumping ships to new ones - what can I say, I have ADD in staying focused on one project.  At the moment, I've been lured back to PC Replay Baseball, which to me is a near perfect implementation of the fantastic cards & dice game Replay Baseball.  My initial plan was to use a thread on the Delphi Forums that I created to post daily and weekly (in replay terms) updates, as I thought that might be quicker and easier than maintaining the blog.  The Delphi Forums, however, are not the most user friendly, so I am going to continue posting their while also linking to the full posts on this blog, which will allow followers to more easily read the screenshots and updates.  So, with that, please follow along as we relive perhaps the most iconic of baseball seasons!
