At one time I knew every single player on every team from the 1977 MLB season because of that game. 11 yrs old at the time. I must have whispered out loud ... "long drive - deep left field - it's OUTTA HERE" - about a million times.
I'd order new teams as soon as available, rush home to check the mail, The package was there, I was a happy camper. My parents too, they heard that dice rolling, they knew what sonny was doing.
Those games are great. Anybody else remember All-Star Baseball with the spinner? I'm old..also played APBA. Great times! I can still see my mailman bringing APBA baseball to our house and that was in 1967.
Played strat-o-matic for years, even as an adult. I remember when I got my first PC in the early 80's. I devised a program that allowed me to automate the game. Still, there was nothing like rolling the die . . .
