62 eight-to-ten minute games in a day? That certainly seems possible. A two-minute game? If that's what you're going for -- all the cards memorized, no double columns, no substitutions or strategy -- a dice roll every two seconds (60 in two minutes) does sound physically possible to me. I suppose if you rolled five sets of dice at the start of an inning, that might make it easier. (Or used a random number sheet, though I'm not sure how easy it was to get those in 1967. If the first three numbers on the page were, say, 52, 46 and 14, you could probably play that half-inning in three seconds.)

Yeah - I guess it's possible that they could have used some sort of random number sheet, though 1967 is pretty early for those.
