My first graphical baseball game was Earl Weaver Baseball on PC. It was manage only, but I loved that game anyway.

that baseball game for TRS-80 was that "Baseball.bas" the baseball that came w the "network" bundle?
Mine was called Color Baseball. I didn't have a network bundle. I think when I played there was no such thing as a network.
they most certainly had a network its what we used in school at th time a simple command on your comp of "Kill Spool" would knock the ENTIRE network out and the teachers were left scratching thier heads. the only fix was a reinstall on the main comp LMAO!!!!!
I guess I should have said that I didn't have a network then. It was years before I had anything that would be online.

I'm a father of two great boys who LOVE everything baseball. We all play the show together, (on our own accounts.). It's a great game with a great community of players! I also remember the old school baseball games. I remember being blown away hearing the umpire call balls and strikes on Intellivision, which was between Nintendo and Atari. Gen-X gamers are OGs of the gaming world, LOL.
Man, that would be fun to have. Being a 15 year old, my dad always used to play videogames with me, but now he thinks that I don't want to play with him, even when I tell him I want him to. He is off work on the weekend, and I would love to play with him. He loves baseball almost as much as I do, and if he could experience this with me it would be the best moment of my life ever

That is sort of the same with my dad. When he asks to play, it is when I am a game away from a big player. When he can't play, I am not

I'm in for sure at the parameters discussed earlier about players on All Star etc. I want to be the Giants but if someone else wants that I will be the Astros. I don't think you can use your DD Team Name in a league.

Yeah seems like out of the people that chimed in, All Star was preferred, as was using your DD team with no restrictions. You can use any cards you want with no cap. I didn't know that you couldn't use your DD team name in a league. Like I said, never set one up or participated in one before so it's new to me. You can use your DD team though, just have to play under the name of a real MLB team?

Yes I believe that's how it works. I played in one league with 4 players and I didn't set it up but I know you couldn't use your created player (CAP) and played under a MLB Team Name and then used their many road and home uniforms.

I’m in but I’m still looking for a used copy of ‘20 to buy. I’ll take the Twins or the Angels.
