Saw CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL (Tod Lansing's Championship Games). <br> | |||
An elaborate game for baseball fans. Each player has a roster <br> | |||
of 25 players with their batting, fielding, and (for pitchers) <br> | |||
pitching factors. Also whether right handed or left handed. <br> | |||
The pitcher (player in the field) has a number of <br> | |||
different cards with different types of pitches. Batter <br> | |||
(player at bat) has a series of cards for different <br> | |||
actions at bat. Each chooses one secretly and the <br> | |||
relationship determines whether it is a strike, ball, or a <br> | |||
hit ball. If the latter, the batter throws 3 dice and the <br> | |||
fielder 2. The difference between the two totals <br> | |||
(corrected for factors in the batter's card) tells the kind <br> | |||
of hit it is, such as line-drive, grounder, etc. If the <br> | |||
defensive total is larger than the offensive total ona swing, it is a strike swinging. | |||
