Intermittent reminder for the youngsters out there who see a scorecard or even a box score showing a pitcher throwing for 9 innings. This is what is known as a complete game.

Nowadays a thing to be celebrated but in the olden days it was the expectation for the pitcher, just another day at the office.

It’s a 3 dice system my dad designed, loosely based off a couple other games. Not sure what. He passed in 2020 so I can’t ask him. I’ve made some further modifications to enhance the gameplay and accuracy.

@scooter @RuthODay @olliethewobbly @AlexanderRaine7 @cardboardkarl @APBAreplay @YusufToropov
Very cool. What year are you operating this simulation in? I’d love to follow it when you start.

I actually own the 1987 version of Pursue the Pennant. I’ve only played it a few times.
