Description

This very basic baseball card game is of interest only because it may be the first whose marketing was based on the fame of a broadcaster rather than a player – in this case long-time Milwaukee Braves announcer Earl Gillespie. The cards in the 48-card deck are simply turned over one at a time by the batting player, and each produces only the result of a play. The cards are notable, however, for including both detailed play results (Line Drive to Left, Runners Hold) and the corresponding scoring notation (L-7). The rules include a sample score sheet filled out with a full game of proper notation.
