About

This is the latest team replay project I have undertaken using the Diamond Mind Baseball software.

Past replays have included the 1989, 1998, 2003 and 2004 Chicago Cubs as well as the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays and 1946 Boston Red Sox.

I guided the ’89 Cubs to a World Series, which felt oddly cathartic at the time.

The ’93 Jays and ’46 BoSox also resulted in championships.

I grew up a Cubs fan, sure, but I’ve always been a baseball fan in general.

 

In the mid-90s, those Cubs teams weren’t looking so great.

The Cleveland Indians, however, were stacked with talent.

And with their World Series drought, both them and the Red Sox always felt like the American League versions of the Cubs.

So it was only natural that I’d pull for those two AL franchises over the years.

Here we are, now. 20 years later. Trying to rewrite history.
