Vintage Jeopardy

Seems to me a strange case of IP rights? I would think maybe the player could object if you used his name commercially (though I can't imagine why he would object to being on an APBA card), but why would MLB have a claim? Maybe the player assigns his rights to MLB? Anyhow the whole thing seems rather silly.

Not sure, but it could have been a problem with the player's union. At the time the game company wasn't doing well and if the union demanded fees from them, it could have been the nail in the coffin. Not sure what the opt out was for the players or what the consequences would have been for the game company if they had used the names.

Apparently the dispute, whatever it was, was a factor for five years, but the players with fake names were not necessarily fake players for that entire span according to the chart posted.

The fact that this question was transplanted from another thread according to Cliff is yet another mystery. Could this be a Twilight Zone thing?

You posted the question about Dee Sunday on another thread, no?

Sorry, Doc, this is actually the first we recall ever hearing about pseudonymous APBA cards (so thanks, too,
for bringing it to our attention). Our very modest level of so-called expertise doesn't extend to most post-'70s things,
but several members of our own forum are well steeped in APBA, Strat-O-Matic, Pursue the Pennant and other
"modern" sim games. You're registered with our site, you should post there and ask...

That�s my fault, I snuck in a �Who is Dee Sunday?� on this thread to mess with Frank which apparently led him to believe that he had originally posted the question in this particular thread.

When the train jumps to another track, the destination becomes uncertain.

Anatomical anomaly minus new Mets acquisition.

Oops, I did a variation of this one at post #140. Something sounded vaguely familiar when I posted this. Sorry.

Dementia is not a congenital anomaly Barry.
