After much struggle with the city fathers of Los Angeles, Walter O'Malley finally opened his baseball emporium, Dodger Stadium, for the start of the 1962 season.  O'Malley's highly regarded team drew a record 2,755,184 fans into the park, while pacing the National League all summer behind the star performances of Maury Wills, Tommy Davis and Don Drysdale.  Of the trio, Wills proved the most exciting while en route to the league's MVP Award by committing the grandest theft act ever witnessed on major league turf --- 104 steals --- to break the 1915 mark of the legendary Ty Cobb.  Davis, by hitting .346 and knocking in 153 runs, captured two of the major batting categories while Drysdale won the coveted Cy Young Award on the strength of his 25 victories.

But all the individual glory could not make up for an unfortunate incident which took place on July 17, when ace southpaw Sandy Koufax was lost for the season with a circulatory ailment in his fingers.  In the final 13 contests, the Dodgers could only win three, while the San Francisco Giants won seven to tie Los Angeles on the final day of the season.  The Giants stayed in contention all year with an attack centered on home run leader Willie Mays, and the slugging of Orlando Cepeda and Felipe Alou.  Jack Sanford won 16 games in a row ending up with 24 victories for the season combined with Billy O'Dell's 19, Juan Marichal's 18 and Billy Pierce's 16 gave the Giants a very formidable staff that would lead them over the Dodgers in the Best of 3 playoff series.

In the American League, the fanfare took place before the final curtain.  Cleveland, leading until the All-Star break, lost 19 of their next 24 games to drop into second division.  While the Indians were faltering, the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins, the league's newest entries, were charging into contention.  Although the joint efforts were commendable, both fell short.  The Twins finished second on the strength of a strong batting attack, and the Angels third on the arms of their two colorful rookies, Dean Chance and Bo Belinsky.  As usual, the Yankees were on top when the season closed even in an off year for the Bronx Bombers.

We hope this recreation of the 1962 Season brings enjoyment to both the seasoned veterans as well as the much younger Total Classics enthusiast that would like to trip back to see, hear & feel what it was all like in 1962.

Initial release

-------------------------------------------

*** INSTALLATION ***

Installation can be done using the supplied installer or by manually copying the files to your game folder. Complete instructions with screenshots are included with the mod.

-------------------------------------------

*** NOTES ***

1) This mod was built for dynasty play using some of the best teams from the 1950's & 60's. Dynasty Mode for a single season is recommended, however, the mod has been completely tested for Exhibition mode as well.

2) Only the 20 major league teams listed above have been created and are available. All other major league teams have been emptied. No changes were made to any of the minor league teams. If you play a dynasty, it is HIGHLY recommended that you turn off trades & injuries to maintain the opening day 25 man rosters intact throughout the season.

3) You MUST use a profile that has the retro uniforms unlocked. If you do not, some of the uniforms may not show up (since some of them use the retro uniform slots).

-------------------------------------------

This project is an extension of Total Classics. Credit needs to be extended to the entire Total Classics team for creating such an interest in Oldtime Classic Baseball. Hopefully this mod will inspire others to create more full season mods.

Thanks and appreciation also go out to the the many MVPModders that have contributed so much to the overall Total Classics experience and continue to do so today. This includes those Cyberface modders, Stadium modders, Uniform modders, Roster modders, Audio modders, etc.

Enjoy!

They called it "The Great Race", and through the final week, the battle raged with the American League pennant at stake. Four teams fought, unable to shake off any of the others.

1) The Boston Red Sox were the darlings of fans everywhere; rising up from 9th place in '66, they were 100-to-one shots seeking "The Impossible Dream".

2) The Chicago White Sox had no batters as high as .250, but hung in the race on pitching, defense, and spirit.

3) The Detroit Tigers were a strong team favored by the press to win it all.

4) The Minnesota Twins came to life after manager Sam Mele was replaced in June by Cal Ermer and entered the Final Weekend up by 1 game over Boston & Detroit.

All four teams remained in the running into the final week, and the torrid chase set typewriters ablaze across America. Yes, it was a Special Year in Baseball as well as a Very Special Year for Carl Yastrzemski - Winner of the coveted Triple Crown.................

-------------------------------------------

The Total Classics 1967 mod brings you the sights and sounds of the 1967 baseball season. Besides rosters, portraits and audios, the mod provides themed menu screens and loading screens, stadium select screens with actual stadium photos, a 1960's era overlay, and correct 1960's era stadiums.

We hope this recreation of the 1967 Major League Baseball Season brings enjoyment to both the seasoned veterans as well as the much younger Total Classics enthusiast that would like to trip back to see, hear & feel what it was all like in those wonderful days of the late '60s. This project is a mere continuation of Total Classics.

<u>v1.0</u>

Initial release

Professional baseball's centennial year began with the expansion of both leagues to 12 teams and the introduction of division play in both leagues, as Montreal and San Diego joined the National League and Seattle and Kansas City (Royals) the American League. Because pitchers had become overly dominant in the game, the mound was lowered and the strike zone shrunk to spruce up the hitting.

Other news items included:
Ken Harrelson, who created an uproar by refusing to report after Boston traded him to Cleveland, and only did so after a significant pay raise;

Donn Clendenon, who refused to be traded to Houston by Montreal and wound up in New York with the Mets;

Mickey Mantle, who could no longer fight injury and age called it quits before the season opened;

Ted Williams, who returned to uniform as the manager of the Washington Senators.

None of these events, including the firing at season's end of Billy Martin of the Western Division champion Minnesota Twins, or the bankruptcy of the Seattle Pilots in their first and only year of existence could equal the biggest surprise in baseball's long history…
The “MIRACLE of the “AMAZING METS !

Oh, But perhaps the United States Landing a Man on the Moon in July of 1969 is also fairly memorable too !

Yes, it was a Special Year in Baseball in 1969. While Baseball was celebrating it first 100 Years across America the turbulent 60's were ending. Without question “The Times They Had Forever Changed!" as the ultimate faith of the Vietnam War had become reality. America would never be the same and neither would her National Pastime… BASEBALL !
-------------------------------------------

We hope this recreation of the 1969 Season and the 100th Anniversary of Major League Baseball brings enjoyment to both the seasoned veterans as well as the much younger Total Classics enthusiast that would like to trip back to see, hear & feel what it was all like in those wonderful days as the '60s were winding down and America was bracing for the arrival of the 70's.

This Version combines 35 individual files into 1 Screenshot for those that would prefer not using the Thumbnail facility to view all 504 individual BMPs at once. This is a compilation of Screenshots for the 504 different Cyberfaces that exist in the original Models.big file that comes with MVP Baseball 2005. Each are represented by a separate .bmp Screenshot file captured from the Edit Roster section of the ga This is a complilation of Screenshots for the 504 different Cyberfaces that exist in the original Models.big file that comes with MVP Baseball 2005. Each are represented by a separate .bmp Screenshot file captured from the Edit Roster section of the game. The naming convention of each file is "s ### f". Where: s = Skin Tone ### = Face number f = Y or N for '04 Type Face indicator Example: File "3 126 Y" would be Cyberface 126 with a Skin Tone setting of 3 and it is a '04" Type Face. This file is useful for several functions including easily identifying facial structures to use for Cyberface Modders as well as Cyberface selection for Modders that wish to assign look alike Cyberfaces to Created or Classic players. I find it best to be viewed using Windows Explorer in the Thumbnail view. This allows quick & easy scanning of the entire set. I created this for my personal use and just wanted to provide this to anyone that can find it useful. This is also a small way of saying "THANKS!" to all the Great Cyberface Modders from MVPMods.com. Please keep bringing those Classic Ballplayers back to the Field. Thanks, Don
