Turn Back the Clock: Post Season Edition

[Knight165]

In keeping with the theme of my Turn Back the Clock rosters....I have decided to tackle some Post Season editions before choosing on my full roster set for this year.
These will include the Post Season teams for specific seasons and will have all the players that played at least one game for those clubs.

In the Vault right now is the 1949 Edition which is the Yankees and the Dodgers for 1949.

I am currently working on the 1973 Post Season set which will include the Mets, Reds, Orioles and Athletics.

I plan on doing 5 or 6 of these before tackling the full season set.

I would also like to do one year from each of the following decades...

40's-completed 1949
50's
60's
70's-Completed 1973
80's-1984 Work In Progress


I'm up for suggestions....make it compelling!

I would be up for a 1961 set!

Yankees fan here but I might like to see mid 60's Twins-Dodgers.

70's Big Red Machine- Red Sox or 77 or 78 Yanks-Dodgers.

One thing I would like to try and do is not to use the same teams for the different decades.(at least the World Series final teams)
Although using the Yanks and/or Dodgers again is fine by me as when I started the '49 set...I had something else in mind.

So for now if we can rule out the Mets and A's...that would be good.

If we did '67...I could do the Cards/Giants and the Red Sox/Twins.

'57 Could be the Yanks and White Sox...monster year for Mantle in '57

I think 1985 would be awesome. KC, St Louis....great world series....great post season.

I know this is off-kilter, but one thing I would love to see is the old "Earl Weaver" Rosters done. The ones that have the best from 00-30, then 31-45, then 46-60 and finally 61-75.

I actually got to the point where I made a 76-90 and 90-Modern day, so I had 6 teams in each league.

Those were some of the best times I've ever had, and I couldn't simulate any games, so given those 12 teams in THIS game, it would be a blast.

Again, off-kilter (so sorry for that), but you are good and if you ever hit a desire I would be right there backing you. I DO have the actually roster sets (I've kept them all these years) that came with that game, so I know exactly who was on each team.

Earl Weaver was most likely my biggest influence in GAMING(not just baseball gaming).
I played that game an immense amount.

I enjoy roster sets with teams from different years...same era, but I've always preferred single season sets. All my High Heat rosters were single season sets(1951 and 1969 were likely my favorites ...I did everything on those INCLUDING inputting the players historical stats up to that year)

I finished the 25 man roster for the Mets last night and played the 2013 S.F. Giants in a season game.
Matlack was phenomenal through 6...but fell apart and gave up 3 in the 7th. Unfortunately that '73 Met team wasn't it's strongest on offense and when you have to turn to pinch hitters like Don Hahn...George Theodore or even the aging(AGING) Willie Mays....it doesn't spell much hope for a comeback.
Rusty Staub(who was having an awesome half year...326 BA....12 Hr's at that poing) flew out to LF to end the game.
It was fun though!
