The game was first released in October 1995.[1] The base set had 360 cards and came in 80-card starter decks and 12-card booster packs.[1] An expansion was tentatively scheduled for a June 1996 release but never materialized.[2]
Gameplayedit
The game was said to resemble Strat-O-Matic in the amount of game detail.[1]
Gameplay involved using only one type of card, the Player card. Each Player had 17 statistics. Offensive players would play a card representing the type of swing a batter is using, while the defensive manager would choose the pitch with a card play.[1] To resolve the play, each player would draw the top card of their deck and compare them to one or more tables to determine the outcome.[1]
