ABSTRACT:
A baseball board game utilizes a first set of six-sided dice and a sectored spinner to simulate the statistical probabilities of hits, walks, outs, and strikeouts. The first set of dice is coded with specific designations so that the possible combinations of the designations determine whether the player has achieved a hit, walk, strikeout, or out. The spinner is divided into labeled sectors to represent different types of hits. Once it has been determined that a player has achieved a hit by rolling the dice, the player then spins the spinner to determine what type of hit is achieved. The labeled sectors of the spinner are arranged to accurately represent the statistical distribution of the type of hits. The board game further utilizes a second set of dice to determine the outcome of a steal attempt. The second pair of dice is coded with specific designations so that the possible combinations of the designations determine whether the player has successfully stolen a base. The statistical probability of the outcomes of the dice sets and the spinner accurately simulates the actual probabilities of Major League Baseball.RTM. statistics. The board game also uses two sets of player cards, which are preferably supplemented, or replaced, by the player's own baseball cards.
