APBA Pro Baseball

About this board game

APBA Pro Baseball is a baseball simulation for 1–2 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. You manage a real big-league club, making decisions throughout the game with cards representing 600 players from 30 teams.

Each team includes 20 players, and every card contains carefully calculated information designed to reproduce that player’s actual on-field performance across the game. The card set covers the most recent baseball season, giving you a detailed foundation for managing authentic big-league lineups and rosters.

As manager, you call the shots on pitching changes, pinch-hitters, and double-switches. APBA Pro Baseball also puts you in the roles of general manager, owner, and commissioner, letting you shape the league as well as manage individual games.

• Play with intact big-league clubs.
• Create a league and draft players from scratch.
• Switch players and teams around in any way you choose.
• Use the included cards, rules, rosters, and play boards.

The game’s streamlined presentation includes full-color card graphics and a spiral-bound rule book. The book brings together the rules, rosters, and play boards, along with APBA history, playing tips, league guidelines, and a quick-start guide intended to get you playing in five minutes.

Released in 1951, APBA Pro Baseball offers a flexible way to recreate big-league baseball while giving you control over the decisions and league structure that define the experience.
