Ball Five Baseball "The Seventies"

Every team. Every season. Every at-bat.

Replay the 1970s at-bat by at-bat, from the Big Red Machine to the Bronx Zoo. One click rolls a 1-1000 number, the result lights up on the player’s card, and you click it to make the play happen. It’s the feel of a classic card-and-dice game, without the cards and dice all over your table.

What’s in the game

• Player cards built from each player’s real season stats, with lefty/righty splits on every hitter and pitcher
• Cards that flip like the ones you got in the mail, with real stats on the back
• Fielding checks based on each fielder’s range and errors
• Pitcher warm-up tosses set his form for the day, and fatigue colors tell you when he’s tiring
• Momentum: a pitcher can get in a groove or get rattled
• Steals, pickoffs, hit-and-runs, bunts, intentional walks and pitchouts. You make the calls.
• “At the wall” plays: robbed home runs, balls off the wall, and wind-blown homers
• Every ballpark drawn with its real dimensions
• Real schedules, standings, season stats, box scores and play-by-play, plus the real playoff format for each year
• Two play styles: let the result light up, or find it yourself, board-game style
