APBAReplay announces 1st Season Replay

1981
Yes we know that a season replay will take forever, but while most of the seasons from 1978 to 1987 are great there is one I really want to play out. That is the strike shortened 1981 season. We will endeavor to play a 162 game season. The season has a lot of intrigue. The teams with the best records in each league didn't even make the playoffs (A's and Reds). Players such as Mike Schmidt, Fernando Valenzuela, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, and Rickey Henderson have the potential for HUGE years. I have always wanted to take these great players through the 162 game season. Hope you will join us on this long journey!
