Season Disk Exchange

Last updated: July 17, 2002

From this page, you can download Diamond Mind Baseball season disks that have been prepared by customers who have asked us to make their work available for others to enjoy. Feel free to download any of these seasons at no charge.

We are happy to offer this page as a free service to season disk authors and to customers who wish to use these season disks. If you find errors or have questions, please contact the author using the information provided in the listings below. If the author makes corrections, we will endeavor to post the corrected versions on a timely basis and to provide enough information on this page to help you determine whether you have the latest version.

Please understand that Diamond Mind's involvement is limited to maintaining this page. We have not tested these disks. We do not guarantee their completeness or correctness. And we cannot provide technical support for the disks listed here.

With that understanding, we wish you the best of luck in finding some seasons that will add to your enjoyment of your Diamond Mind Baseball game.

Downloading and Installation Instructions

Each of the files on this page is a self-extracting zip file. This is the same format used for season disks that are created and sold by Diamond Mind, so you can use the same methods for installing them.

When you download the file, your web browser will give you the opportunity to choose a directory in which to place the downloaded file, and it may ask you to provide a file name. You can choose any directory and file name you like, but make sure the file name has the .exe for the extension. Without this, your attempt to expand the file will likely fail.

(Version 8) After you have downloaded the file, start Diamond Mind Baseball and choose the "Install season disk..." command from the File menu. When Windows pops up the Open File dialog, navigate to the folder to which you previously downloaded the file, then choose that file to install it.

(Version 7) Copy the downloaded file to a floppy disk, start Diamond Mind Baseball, choose Setup from the main menu , then choose the Install command. Place the diskette in drive a: or b:, and indicate on the popup form which drive you are installing from. Diamond Mind Baseball then scans the diskette and pops up a list of all season disks it was able to find. After you select the one you wish to install, the game suggests a drive and directory name on your hard disk. When you have either accepted the suggested name or provided your own, Setup expands the files into the right location and adds the directory to the list on the screen.

[Alternate method for version 7 files] The second method involves a few more steps but does not require that you copy the file to a floppy disk. Start by creating a directory/folder under your Diamond Mind Baseball game directory/folder. The game directory is called c:\dmb7 on most computers, but may differ if you chose a different name when you installed the game. Then copy the downloaded file into that newly-created directory. Once the file is in that directory, you can expand it. For DOS users, use the CD command to make that the current directory, then type the file name and press Enter. For Windows95 users, you can use Explorer to view the contents of the folder that contains the file and double-click on the file to expand it. When the file has been expanded, you'll need to tell Diamond Mind Baseball that there's a new season disk out there. To do this, follow the instructions on pages 96-98 of the Version 7 User Guide. You'll be using the PlayerDir command to create a reference to this new directory/folder.

Seasons in version 8 format

1950s Pacific Coast League Seasons (version 8 editions)

Author: Stephen Davis, Pleasant Hill, CA
Email: sjdavis@pon.net
Requires: Diamond Mind Baseball version 8
Added: June 25, 2002 (except 1951, which was added July 17, 2002)

Why the Pacific Coast League? When Stephen was young there were no major league teams on the West coast. The PCL was the only game in town. Before expansion of the major leagues, quite a few good players never made it to the "Show" mainly because the money they made in the minors was as good or better than what they could make in the majors. The PCL did sell to and receive players from the majors. With the good weather the PCL would play as many as 200 games per team per season with the season running from early April until late September.
