Board Versions
If you're looking for unparalleled pitcher/batter interaction along with play result and base runner advance depth and variability then BSB is the game for you!
The game for the player who wants the ultimate
in the statistical representation of the game of baseball! No game goes as
deep with intermingling ACTUAL situational stats for both the batter and
pitcher. Here are some of the features of both BSB I and BSB II:
1) Batters have individual ratings for vs. left and vs. right in all categories!
2) Batters are rated in seven categories for hitting in scoring position!
3) Pitchers are rated separately for vs. left and vs. right! You'll see the difference between facing a dominant lefty and a finesse lefty!
4) All pitchers are rated for runners on and bases empty! Starting pitchers are rated for the first inning "Early" rating and the seventh inning on "Late" rating!
5) All two team players have been rated separately for each team and virtually every player on each roster is included! Ballpark effects include separate left/right home run ratings, day / night weather and Ballpark cards that include a ballpark photo, and optional effects for singles, doubles, and triples!
6) Use our computer version in conjunction with the board game and take advantage of it's many board game features (programmed schedule, fatigue monitoring, score sheet printouts, box score generation from board game stat input, quick play games, and easy to use stat program) to complete season replays!
