I have some pretty old stats somewhere, too.
First game I got was AH's Superstar baseball . . I think for Christmas '75 or more likely, '76. My first full-league game was APBA, which I got for the first time in '78 (based on 77). I got that for three years, tried Statis-Pro once and switched to SOM, til around 84, when I stopped buying card sets. (well, until I discovered EBay).
I've gotten maybe 3-4 versions of SOM baseball for PC, but still dig the APBA Master game now and then. I actually played an entire season once, the 1908 AL . .took about three years, or around 616 games in 1100 days.
I started the NL, but was so tired of it, played about two weeks and I haven't touched it in about four years.
Played/owned a pile of sports board games, Speed Circuit, USAC Auto Racing, Title Bout, All the AH Strategy Games, APBA Horce Racing, Golf and bowling . .pretty much everything AH and APBA made . . . Time Travel Baseball (getting killed by a pitched ball in the future was always fun!!) . . .one of my favorite non-sports games of the time, Whitman's Stock Market Game
