HoF Managers
Tested, Re-Tested...and Tested Again
Along with the decade and season replay managers, more than 80 seasons
(with more coming) of special manager “cards” are available for
use. These cards are individual “representations” of the actual
managers used over those 80 years and are designed to work
with specially-programmed managers when managing teams.
Users simply go into the Advanced Draft module and add the
individual cards to the actual team being managed. You then
assign a specially-programmed manager who “reads” the
individual cards when making decisions.
In addition to the above replay and draft managers, The Digital Skybox offers
a complete set of more thant two dozen Hall of Fame
Managers for use. Each manager is programmed to imitate
the strategies of the actual historic manager they were
named after. Managers like Casey Stengel, John McGraw,
Connie Mack and others are available. Recently added to
the collection were the just inducted managers Joe Torre,
Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox. Most of the managers are
designed for AIM only replays but there are a handful of non-AIM versions as
well. Note: The managers are not recommended for draft play but users can
obviously choose to do so. Please run some test or practice games to see
how they handle your roster.
For more information on these managers or to place an order, check the
column to the left. The various options - Hall of Fame,
Online Managers, Complete Managers Flash Drive - are
detailed to the left. Just click any photo icon to be taken
to the order page. Remember as well that updates and
revised versions of these managers come with any purchase. One free year
of updates are included.
Manager’s Cards
The Digital Skybox managers collection includes a wide variety of computer
managers that are compatible with both Miller Associates’ Baseball for
Windows games (all versions) as well as APBA, International, Inc.’s Baseball
for Windows 5.75. Note: The programs are not affiliated with any game
company.
Among the most popular programs are replay managers (decade and season
specific) that can be used for any historic replay, from 1876 games up through
the 2022 MLB season and every season in between. These replay managers
include both AIM and non-AIM versions. Each of these programs include small
“bio” text files explaining their purpose and design. Many of these programs
are periodically updated or revised and available for download.
Along with the variety of replay managers (more details about are below), a
mix of more than 60 draft league or “mixed” roster managers are available.
There are draft league managers designed for modern seasons as
well as pre-war years and even several managers programmed for
deadball era draft rosters. Additionally, all-star or “best of”
managers, created to manage all time historic rosters are also
available. Numerous specialized or unique managers including
those progammed for Japanese and Negro leagues play have been made. A
handful of minor league managers (replay mostly but can be used in a draft
league) round out the collection. As with the replay managers both AIM and
non-AIM versions have been made.
All of the managers have been extensively tested using a mix of APBA official
disks, BJE/FPE imports, Bill Staffa’s Skeetersoft disks and, in
some cases, home made disks. Free downloadable updates to
many of the managers are made available as well. Improvements
are constantly being made.
The replay managers are programmed with no specific style or
approach in mind (except for general eras such as deadball, modern, et
cetera). Instead, they are designed to adjust their strategies and
approach based on the specific rosters they are assigned to
manage. A team, for example, with very little speed and few base
stealers will use a plodding, big inning type approach. Another
roster, meanwhile, having multiple base stealers and not much
power, on the other hand, will be more aggressive on the base
paths. Similarly, teams with deep bullpens will see a quicker hook being used
over a team with a thinner pen. So, one manager designed to handle a specific
decade or half-decade will not manage the same way with each team; he’ll
change based on the team being assigned to.
The Digital Skybox 2025 Managers’
Flash Drive includes more than
1,000 managers and manager’s
