At Macy's swayed a woman from buying <u>ROYALTY</u> and into <br>
buying <u>BALI</u> instead. <br>
Saw <u>CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL</u> (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 on a <br>
swing, it is a strike swinging. <br>
When the ball is hit their is a minimum fielding <br>
number based on the combination of pitcher's card <br>
batter's card, and O-D (Offense total - Defense total) (tho <br>
I am not sure if O-D enters into it). If the total is less <br>
than the minimum, the ball was not fielded and it is a  <br>
hit. If the defense rolls the minimum or above, both <br>
players then roll 3 dice (offense) and 2 dice (defense) to <br>
see the results of a throw to a chosen base. <br>
This is only a very rough idea. All plays of baseball, including <br>
tiring of pitchers, etc. are supposed to be included.
