Baseball Classic Replays

  -         -   Joe Kuhel had a huge day – a day after he had six hits in a single game, today in Cleveland he hit two home runs and drove in five runs against the Indians. The White Sox improved to 2-1 with the 8-2 win. da Joe Kuhel (White Sox) - Catcher H arry Danning came up with the clutch hit against the Brooklyn Dodgers to secure the Giants’ first win of the season.   Top of the 9 th , two outs, two on, and the game tied, Danning hit a double that brought both runners across the plate.   The Giants held on for a 5-3 win.

 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!
