APBA Pro Baseball Basic Game

Satisfy your baseball APBAtite with with APBA Pro Baseball

Have you ever wished that you could manage a professional baseball club? To be right down there in the dugout, making the key decisions at all the crucial moments in the game? To be the guy who really calls the shots?

Now you can. Since 1951, the APBA Professional Baseball Board Game has been providing fans with just that kind of excitement. All the tension and strategy that make the real thing so enjoyable are yours in a board game that's easy to learn and quick to play (an entire nine-inning game can be completed in a half hour).

With APBA, You're the Manager!

APBA Professional Baseball gives you the same decisions to make that the real-life big league managers face every day, such as:

• Picking your starting lineup and the batting order you want
• Picking your starting pitcher
• Deciding when to give your starter the "hook" and go to your bullpen
• Choosing when to insert a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or a late-inning defensive substitute
• Telling the batter when to hit away or sacrifice or calling for the hit and run play

If you think that a certain player on your favorite pro team is over-rated, bench him and give someone else a shot! Try platooning a position instead of going with one everyday starter. Or work with a five-man pitching rotation instead of a four-man. ALL the important decisions are yours to make.

Play just one game and we guarantee that you'll love it. Baseball fans have been amazed by the realism and statistical accuracy of the APBA Professional Baseball Game ever since APBA's founder J. Richard "Dick" Seitz introduced the game back in April, 1951. Many longtime fans tell us that the genius of the game really shows when you play an entire series of ballgames, or re-create a full pro season. The player cards are calculated to give a precise, accurate simulation of each player's real season stats. Want to find out how your hometown team would have done had they made the trade or free agent acquisiton you think they should have made? Play APBA Pro Baseball with the current player card set and find out!

The APBA Pro Baseball Game contains cards for two outstanding teams from the past, Brooklyn and New York from the 1953 season, as well as all necessary playing components.
