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.
