And, as a manager in APBA baseball, you are not simply a figurehead. YOU select the lineup, make pitching changes, call for pinchhitters and pinchrunners, and make defensive substi- tutions in the late innings. You decide when to sacrifice and hit-and-run, and whether to gamble or play it safe on the bases. On defense, you decide when to issue intentional walks and whether to play your infield up or back when an opposing runnet reaches third, Your job won't be easy—you'll even have to juggle your lineup, like Charlie Fox or Dick Williams, when a player like Willie McCovey or Reggie Jackson is injured. AMAZING REALISM Each player in the game, whether star or scrub, will perform for you with exactly the same skills he has displayed in real life. You will be thrilled by the statistical accuracy. You'll see hitters like Billy Williams and Cesar Cedeno matching not only their batting averages, but their power figures (2B, 38, HR, RBI) as well. You'll be lucky if your pitching staff has an iron man like Wilbur Wood or Mickey Lolich, or if you have a stopper like Lyle in the bullpen. You'll appreciate the value of a defensive stickout like Ed Brinkman or Bert Campaneris. A speedster like Lou Brock or Joe Morgan will be a real asset to you on the base: but you won't want to gamble offen with slower men like Willie Stargell or Harmon Killebrew. You'll see even the best pitchers ‘occasionally tiring and becoming less effective during the course ‘of a game, and, on the other hand, you'll at times observe a pitcher becoming stronger os a game progresses. There is even special provision for relief pitchers inserted in ning to face «certain hitter.

Canseco & Clemens, Galarraga & Gwynn, Swindell & Strawberry, Winfield & Worrell Manage These & Hundreds More Players With the APBA PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME It you take baseball at all seriously, you probably find yourself occasionally second-quessing the manager of your favorite big league team. You may even believe you could do a better job than the man in the dugout. If so, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE IT! MANAGE EVERY SINGLE BIG LEAGUE TEAM! ‘Yes, you can manage all 26 clubs with the APBA Pro- fessional Baseball Game. APBA is the original dice- activated personnel baseball board game, and we've been making managers out of fans for almost forty years. REALISTIC CHALLENGES FOR APBA MANAGERS To be a successful APBA manager, you'll need to know the strengths and weaknesses of your ballplayers, because you'll be making the same decisions a real big league skipper does. In the late innings with the score tied, do you pinch-run for a slow runner like Harold Baines, knowing you'll lose his bat for the remainder of the game? At what point do you replace a dangerous hit- ter like Pete Incaviglia for a better defensive outfielder? Which situations call for your closer — Jeff Reardon, for example — out of the bullpen? You'll call for the hit-and-run, sacrifice bunts and in- tentional walks when you see fit. APBA managers face other problems as well. At times your players will suffer injuries, and you'll have to find somebody to fill in for a star like Eric Davis or Steve Bedrosian. WITH APBA, IN FACT, YOU ARE MORE THAN JUST A MANAGER. YOU CAN MAKE TRADES. YOU CAN ESTABLISH YOUR OWN ALL-STAR TEAMS. YOU CAN EVEN CREATE YOUR OWN LEAGUE AND DRAFT PLAYERS FROM SCRATCH.
