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.

Very cool. What year are you operating this simulation in? I’d love to follow it when you start.

I saw an article discussing a fictitious game, All-Jewish team vs. All-Canadian team. The author gave the edge to Koufax.
Sure, for a single game it’s scary going against Koufax but over a 7-game series, I think that I’d rather have Jenkins.
