So we are trying to get this old mans league up and running and have some fun. I know some of you have expressed interest in joining so to anyone out there who would like to participate please reply to this post or message me. Just trying to get a head count so we can set up the league properly.
I’m in but I’m still looking for a used copy of ‘20 to buy. I’ll take the Twins or the Angels.
Hopefully you're able to find one used somewhere for not too much. If not, I would think a Walmart or Target would have some but not sure what they would charge for a new copy nowadays. I would also think you could get the digital copy on PSN but again, not sure what that would cost.

I usually play after the baby goes to sleep. I play mostly offline since it allows me to pause it and go take care of the baby or chill with the wife. Online I just usually play until I reach PR, so that I grab the diamond.
Back 17’ I took about 15 ranked season losses because of a crying child

Man I remember those days. My kids are older now, 15 and 10 but when they were younger I remember taking many losses due to them needing immediate attention. At that age there is never a safe time to play. They could be sound asleep and then in an instant be awake and screaming.

You either take the L because of the baby or you take the L with the wife
You KNOW which one to pick. -

Good thread. 47 with a 4 year old and another literally due in about a week. Yes, I'm gonna be that guy in the hospital checking his phone, "Did my Mays buy order go through?"
Started with Intellivision baseball also, moved to C64 and Hardball & Micro League Baseball, NES Baseball Stars (my primary fantasy team's name every year is Ninja Black Sox) through just about every The Show, but only DD/online last couple years.
47 with a 4 year old and one on the way??? [censored] congrats to you sir. I’m 45, fiancé is 49. Our kids are 29, 26, 22 & 16. No way could I start over now. I’m exhausted!

Lol, yeah already the 4 yr old has shown me I'm not 26 anymore; but I've been able to do some things I would not have if I had kids earlier, so no complaints at all, in fact kids have been better than all those things combined so even better perspective from it all.

It did, and so did the order for the baby! In fact, finally finished the Extreme grind Thurs and the order came through hours later, then baby came on Fri. So have Gehrig and Mays sitting with exactly 0 plate appearances just waiting for me for when things calm down.

Thanks!
And I'm interested in the league, but obviously not likely to look at anything right away or a few days at least.

I’m waaaay late to this party. 40-year old father of 4 here, first year playing DD and about a .500 winning percentage level player, but lots of experience playing Bases Loaded, Baseball Stars, and Ken Griffey Jr Baseball lol. Did I miss the cutoff to get in this league?

Ok. So I fell way behind in this. Awesome posts. I found one of my Atari “Baseball” games from 1982 in a box over the weekend - need to figure out how to share the pic.
Anyway, so we’re locked in on:
- No limits on overalls
- No CAPS
- All Star mode so us old guys can see the ball coming
Just need to decide between the following for lineups:
- DD lineups (with all the new cards there is bound to be variety)
- Pick a team and use all time team
- Some other theme (only 80’s and 90’s players?) for our generation
Lastly, Over 40 league or Dads of any age? I am both so I don’t care lol - just want to keep this a fun league and not have to play crazy good full time players
This is a great idea! Please put me on the list of interested

I would love to be a part of a "dad's league!" This is my 1st year playing the Show, so I'm not sure what I need to do to join a chat or add my name to the list.
Any direction is much appreciated!

I am old enough that I date back to the following games.
OG Bases Loaded
Little League Baseball: Championship Series
Tecmo Baseball -
