Welcome to The Baseball Replay Journal
I’m a replayer.
This isn’t the same as being a gamer. Sure, the sims I play are technically games — but I take them much more seriously than the average gamer would.
There’s a long and storied tradition of sports replays. The baseball replay tradition goes back to the original publication of National Pastime in 1930 — a game that remains obscure and largely unknown to this day. It’s legacy was extended through APBA, was expanded upon and improved through Strat-O-Matic, Statis Pro, and many other games, and continues today in the form of extremely advanced games such as Out Of The Park Baseball.
This is the home for all of these games. We talk about all of these games here, as well as other general parts of baseball history of interest to those who play these games.
Sadly, the old guard of baseball replayers are dying off. The purpose of this blog and its accompanying YouTube channel is to keep the old tradition alive for as long as possible. The new generation of OOTP replayers needs to know about the research and experiences of the past — and this is the home of that tradition.

Free subscriptions ensure that you will receive each post as an email when it comes out. I post once per day, and will not send spam or advertisements.
Paid subscriptions give you access to the members area, where I house my full collection of baseball related media. This ranges from difficult to find and obscure baseball replay publications to copies of high quality original radio and television broadcasts.
Paid subscriptions only cost $5 per month, or $50 for a full year. Your support helps ensure that I am able to keep the tradition alive for the next generation of replayers.
Please note that this project is entirely independent and is wholly my own creation. I do not receive any subsidies or other financial donations from any of the companies whose games I discuss. This project is entirely the result of my passion and dedication to the hobby, and is entirely reader funded and supported.
