Wow, I played APBA baseball in college with my buddy
John! It was a complex game where you got the stats of
every major league player from that year's team
translated to dice rolls. 

You put together either exact teams or "fantasy" teams
(before there ever was such a thing as a personal
computer, let alone fantasy baseball), and just WENT
NUTS!!!

You could even buy cards for classic teams like the
1927 Yankees and pit them against the 1975 Cincinatti
Reds, whatever you wanted!

Is this game still made? Damn, if it is i want it!!! I
never owned a set, just played my buddy's game. 

Hmmm, I should google this, brb...

OK! Go to http://www.apbastadium.com/stadium/

Here's the Basic Set:

Now if only I MADE the time to go to Sean F.'s weekly
GAME NIGHT like I've been promising for months!
