ABSTRACT:
A parlor game is described which combines the strategic decision-making of managing a sports team with the financial management of owning a professional sports franchise. A baseball game is played using a wheel which is spun to simulate a pitch, and a ball tossed into the wheel to simulate a hitting attempt. A legend on the wheel aligned with the location in which the ball comes to rest in the wheel is read to establish the outcome of the hitting attempt. No hitting attempt results in balls and strikes being read from the wheel as indicated by an external indicator. Different legends on the wheel correspond to different skill levels assigned to players on the teams. Currency provided with the game is used to upgrade the skill level of players, and to buy and sell concessions and media ownership rights. A player on a team may be challenged on a particular play by a player on the opposing team, the skill level of each player determining the probability of that player's success in the challenge.
