@@Lisareads72 You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!

@keithturner7510 Tux is a great guy. I've known him for years. Yes! Please send me the link. I love all things baseball and I love visiting minor league ball parks. So much history there. Glad you came by. I have some more Christmas lights im going to show, please stay tuned!

@@mickeybitsko1676 Dang! Lol!

@KevinStogner-fd7tl Yep! It was definitely a different era, that's for sure. If we go back further, I read where umpires wore top hats! Thats something I would like to see! :)

@chr970 Im glad you liked it! I'll be putting more videos like this from my personal collection along with other baseball stadium visits and info. Thanks for watching.

I'll be putting more up from my collection, so stay tuned. :)

@BestTime-q5x Yep. It was a different era thats for sure. I remember reading about Drysdale and Koufax standing together for more money and not going to spring training. It is different now though.....paying multiple millions for a contract and being a .200 hitter. Thats the part I dont understand.

Myron McCormick was Mike McCormick's given name. Mike was my Dad's cousin. After the Dodgers clinched, Mike's dad Mac, and my great grandfather took my dad, who was only 11 years old at the time, on a drive from Stockton California to NYC. They only got to see game 5. It's a long drive. Mike is in the Reds HOF. Starting in Right in the 1940 WS. He also played in the 1946 series, with the Boston Braves, subbing for an injured Jeff Heath. He had a great arm.

Bunting -- My Word Of The Day.

@@Charles-t7z Happy belated birthday!

@@Newfoundmike When I first saw it, it looked weird to me....Ill bet it was very cool in the day though.

@berean77 If I remember right Joe DiMaggio also fumbled a catch, just like another Yankee I saw this year.....difference, they won in 1949. :)

saw nothing but heard a lot

@@bigcat618 They were in 8 World series from 1950-1959. A heck of a dynasty.

The Yankees and the Dodgers both have their dynasties, but that stat is hard to beat!

@@BaseballBarnstormer yeah, but one team came close, winning 4 straight series in 1936-39. and who was that team? you guessed it.

@@bevaconme Ha! You speak the truth.... :)

YANKS ONE THE 1ST GAME

HA! Even though I wasn't born yet....I remember it well. :)

1 Month on 10/02/49.

@michaeljoyner6470 Yankees in the 50s dominated. I think they were in 8 of that decades World Series. Incredible.

@LesterMoore Consistency is king and the Yankees had it in 1949 for sure.

@larryloveless2967 That's what I love about baseball. There is so much history and statistics about our sport, you can start understanding the players. I have never played strat-o-matic, but Im sure the sim gives you that feeling of watching the drama unfold. Does your version of the game have the same results over multiple plays?

@@BaseballBarnstormer No. It is all about a dice roll of 3 dice with one determining whether to use a pitcher or batter player card and the other two for what happened. Defense for a at times is a separate roll The batter card.has the hitting probabilty for that player's season but the pitchers card for that season also comes in to play. The stats play out well over a full season but in a short series you never know. It gives you a very realistic game and pitching is very important like real life. I would say my 1950 Yankees team beats the 1953 Dodgers team more often because that staff of Raschi, Reynolds, Lopat, and Byrne with good enough reilef pitching is the difference. In this era I also have their 1954 Giants and 1954 Indians teams. They are fun to play. I am a Cards fan since being old enough to follow the game around 1960.

Got it. I just started playing dice sims, and I've been playing Pocket Pennant Run. It's a good game and a lot is included but Strat seems to be king. Imight have to do a video on some of the games are out there.

I like APBA a little better than stratomatic

@@vinny4411 Why do you like it better? The truth is for me....I don't know much about these types of games. I just started. Once I learn a little more, I would like to show folks about them. PPR is my first and I've really enjoyed it. :)

@ciabattatom521 Haha! That's why we watch! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks Che! Glad you liked it!

@@TheFrugalPuzzler You bet! Thanks for wartchin!

Im glad you like it! I found it interesting.

That is very awesome. I looked it up on Google Maps and can see the wall! I'm sorry I missed this history. Thanks for posting so we all learn. Peoria is a baseball town for sure and I believe your league is here -> www.peoriametroleague.com/ . That being said, I would love to learn about the league, the field where the Peoria Tractors, Maris and Lazzeri played. I'm putting it on the list for the next time I visit Peoria!! Thank you!! I do hope you subscribe to the channel!

@@BaseballBarnstormer you've definitely earned a subscriber!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@Lisareads72 I keep finding more! Stay tuned!

@tonycoleman6883 I agree. We need more of this kind of thing!

@TheFrugalPuzzler It really is! It's a true Chicago hidden gem that is hiding in plain sight! Thanks for watching!

@@Lisareads72 Thanks for commenting! Im happy you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!

I'm glad you liked it. I've been enjoying the research and telling them.

Thanks for the kind words! I love baseball. I hope you subscribe for more stuff like this. :)

@@BaseballBarnstormer I did in fact subscribe yesterday.

@Solo-Cruising-With-Heather Thanks Heather! I appreciate that. This one was a lot of fun and I really like this non-profit so I wanted to make the cuts as tight as I could.

Thanks for the comment! It's so cool that your dad was in the minors for the Appleton team. I hope this video brought back some great memories about your dad playing ball and you! Thanks for the constructive comments. I'm still learning all of the stuff that it takes to make a video, but I will keep that in mind for the next one!

Now you got me thinking that I may have to plan a visit to Appleton to learn about baseball up there! :)

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it! See you back on the boards!

My pleasure! I love watching baseball!

The Otters is a good team to watch! The field has so much history, I'm glad you had a great time! Thanks for my first comment ever on my channel! You made my day!
