Baseball Strategy | Classic retro game for the Commodore PET Computer (1981)

Baseball Strategy is a board game designed by (Unknown) and published by Avalon Hill in 1962. It is a simulation of baseball, focusing on the strategic aspects of the sport rather than the physical gameplay. The game allows players to manage teams, make strategic decisions, and simulate baseball games using dice and charts to determine outcomes.

Avalon Hill, known for its war games and strategy simulations, ventured into sports with Baseball Strategy. The game emphasizes managerial decisions, such as pitching changes, batting orders, and defensive alignments, rather than the action of the game itself. It was designed to appeal to baseball enthusiasts who enjoy the tactical side of the sport.

There is no direct evidence linking the designer of Baseball Strategy to Commodore PET games. The Commodore PET was released in 1977, well after the publication of Baseball Strategy, and Avalon Hill primarily focused on board games rather than computer games during that era. The connection between the designer and Commodore PET games appears to be speculative or unrelated.
