Are you tired of remembering the end-of-season meltdown of the White Sox? Or the miserable start-of-season performance of the Bulls? Here's a new idea: Eternal Baseball.
A team is assembled from the stats of today and yesteryear. The best of the best beyond the "mortal coil". Your teams is matched against the other team's best, including some teams that moved around or disappeared. I'm following the Sox.
Is this the reason "Finding Your Roots" is such a popular TV show? Why people are submitting DNA to connect with the heroes (or villains) on their family tree?
Time has always been terrifying to us self-aware humans. And so far, eternity has been beyond purchase. So, why not have fun with Eternal Baseball. Or, for that matter, Eternal Parents, Eternal Friends, or Eternal Leaders.
The Eternal White Sox of the American League won their first game. Doc White pitched a four hit shutout to beat Eternal Baltimore 6-0.
As a kid, around 1958, I saved up to purchase the APBA Baseball game. I think they are still in business. It wasn't long before they issued a series of "Great Teams of the Past." White Sox teams from 1906 and maybe 1917 were among them. They can be played alone or with one other person.
