Why the Giants?
Well,the Pirates won the World Championship and the Giants won the National League West although they did not run away with the division for sure.That is unless you consider a one game margin over the Dodgers to be a runway win.
The Giants feature four future Hall of Famers in Willie Mays,Willie McCovey,Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry and the season is essentially the last hurrah for both Mays and Marichal as well as the Giants.
The Giants would finish 69-86 in 1972 and would post just two winning records in the remaining seasons of the 1970's as well as being threatened consistently with being moved from San Francisco,including a near miss with becoming the Toronto Giants.
I'll be updating when I play games,I will be writing a short summary,but no box scores and a running total of the season record with each game.
Some times I play a lot,others not so much,so the updates will ebb and flow with these times
I am not sure how many stats I will be adding for each game,perhaps a stat update every seven to ten games or so.
Hope this is fun,I always enjoy my replay seasons and I am looking forward to this one!
Shawn
