Here’s a quick update on the progress of my 1981 APBA baseball season replay. I’ve reached May 15 and I’m less than a month away from the actual baseball strike, which began June 12, 1981.
It took me three months to reach reach May 15 in the game and based on the progress, I anticipate reaching June 13, 1981, and playing games in my replay that never really happened because of the strike, by mid June of this year.
I also look back and attempt to figure out where I was on May 15, 1981. I probably had just gotten out of my junior year of college and returned home for the summer. It was the year I began my short-lived career as a greenskeeper and maintenance person.
In fact, it was sometime in May of 1981 that co-workers tied me to a rope and lowered me into one of the town’s two swimming pools. I had a hose in one hand and a industrial-strength vacuum in the other and I was charged with cleaning the leaves, sediment and general nastiness out of the bottom of the pool.
Ah, memories.
