SABR Games & Simulations – Exhibitors Room

An interactive display of computer, console and electronic handheld baseball video games! Thanks to John Racanelli, who contributed several electronic handheld games including three which attendees could actually play, and Jeremy Gibbs who shared his nearly 40-year-old edition of Statis Pro Baseball! Derek Bain and his sons Michael and Brendan demonstrated a number of classic and current computer and console baseball games on their laptop computers. Mark Wendling shared his recollections of Coleco’s Head-to-Head Baseball (one of the items that John brought to the table). Mike Cieslinski’s Dynasty League Baseball board game was featured as well. We had a blast! It was great to meet so many fellow committee members and SABR attendees in person.
