The baseball program - something I wish to complete. I started writing this on a texas Intruments TI/99-4A computer. The program was saved to a cassette tape. As I learned BASIC (with line numbers) and wrote the program. I started one summer after teaching. Spent the whole summer working and learning only to reach an error - "Out of Memory" when I tried to run the program. I don't know how long I stared at that error! 64K of RAM and then you couldn't upgrade memory. It was OVER! I had help from two people (which I will acknowledge after I look them up) finding images of the game. I only had a few pieces of the game.

 

I started playing this game dice game when I was around 9 years old. Here is how the game is played on paper.

1. Dices are rolled (2) and the result is located on this chart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have one of four possible outcomes - Walk, Overs, Corners, and StrikeOut.

A walk is a walk, Strike out a strike out, but Overs and Corners have their own charts.

The spreadsheet calculates the ratings at this time by doing the following.

The letters A, B, or C. - Power Ratings

A - more than 25 Home Runs.
B - 25 or less Home Runs with a SLG above .415.
C - All others not rated as an A or B.

The number 1-7 is based on batting average.

1 - .330 and above.
2 - .310 to 329.
3 - as indicated below.
