Ok, how many remember these oldtimers?

Sher-Co Baseball -- 28 x 28 grid where you could position all of your fielders and replicate ballparks. Came with the detail of its rating system so you could create rosters. I still remember the formula -- Barry Bonds 2001 would be a A24++, I think. Many people (including me) even built cardboard versions of ballparks to use with the game.

Bill Rigney's Baseball Challenge -- a slicker version of Sher-Co, which a grid field. But this is the only board game I've ever seen with a PITCH BY PITCH option. It took about 5 hours to play one game.

Statis Pro and Strat were also among my collection. During the 81 strike Avalon Hill sent out cards for the Japanese League in its newsletter. I remember managing the Kintetsu Buffaloes.

And I even liked AllStar Baseball (the discs and spinners game), where a pitcher's only value was how he hit! HA!
