That was back in the 60's right? I started playing baseball board games back then. The first one had individual cards for players like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays but I could not remember what it was called. It was poorly rated as Aaron had 10 homeruns in the first 3 games lol. Then I moved on the the spinner baseball game with circular cards that fit over the spinner, Ethan Allen or something like that. Finally I played Avalon Hill games and then APBA in 1973, now that was the first "real" baseball game that I loved. But still keeping stats was so laborious that when I discovered Pursue The Pennant for the computer I was in stat heaven lol (circa 1987).
