PENNANT RACE is a baseball game focusing not on individual games and the pitcher/batter confrontation, but on roster management and trading over an entire season. Real-life players are rated by their batting average, power, speed, and defense over the previous season. These ratings are then used to simulate the outcome of a game on a single dice roll. Over the course of the season, the standings of each club in the league is tracked to see who wins the championship. Provisions are included for injuries, star performances, and creating rookie players. The game can be played solitaire or with multiple players.
