10 year old 1st try; then epic statis-pro game 7

 Game 7 summary below further down, but first some fun remember the future is what matters!


As exciting as the Game 7 Classic Statis-Pro card World Series is, we were touched by a heartwarming preview on the sheets. After the 10 year old had played his first game with me instructing him through as he flipped cards and made decisions, another business trip took me away. Much to my happiness, I came back to see he had note wanted to interrupt the official World Series with the projected player sheets, so to not play a Dodgers vs. Mariners game he instead saw the Mets sheet was on the table and picked it up.

Yeah, his spelling needs work but to freehand the basic idea and get through several players before getting confused about how BD (Clutch Batting) and CD (Clutch Fielding) work he had to suspend his came to wait for instructions but I will always remember these sheets and since he is 50 years younger than me maybe he will be writing a blog and playing Statis-Pro in 2075 as the game stays alive!

This follows him getting his first trip to the mound to get the final out of the season in only his second season of playing. He had control problems on the first three batters to load the bases - as he had practiced a lot off a flat surface in the back yard again the pitching screen. 

However, he kept perfect form and struck out the last batter to end the season with a perfect 0.00 ERA, which for all of time in Statis-Pro has given a player a PB 2-9. So his first Statis-Pro on his own and his first trip to a mound in competion!



The old classic cards brought a classic ending to the 2025 Statis-Pro World Series.

Game Seven

It looked like another offensive battle early when Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani ripped back-to-back doubles to give the Dodgers the early 1-0 lead. Seattle answered in the next inning with a Eugenio Suarez solo shot (his fourth of the series) to make it 1-1. No one would score for the next ten innings. Both starting pitchers settled in after the second inning. The Dodgers went with Tyler Glasnow instead of trying Ohtani on short rest.

Glasnow went seven innings and only allowed the one run. Bryan Woo threw six innings and also only allowed one run. The bullpens then took game seven into extra innings. Both sides decided to wait and save their closer for the extra innings. Blake Treinan and Andres Munoz pitched two scoreless innings each and continued the 1-1 battle. 

Finally in the bottom of the 13th inning, with two on and two outs, Mr. Walkoff, Freddie Freeman crushed a three run homer to send the Dodgers to a second straight Statis-Pro title winning game seven by a final of 4-1 in 13 innings. Shohei Ohtani earned the MVP honors with 3 HR's and 7 RBI's in the series along with a brilliant 7 2/3 innings of pitching in game four to secure the win.

Dodgers make it four Statis-Pro titles in six years - even more dominant than the three in six for the real team.
