![]() ![]() A friend of mine who was not a baseball fan and could not quite figure out why me and so many of our mutual friends liked APBA so much used to refer to it as “Dungeons and Dragons for baseball.” As I have gotten older, I have reflected Strat-o-Matic may been the better game, but I never had the opportunity to play it. I played APBA extensively until I was about 16, but not much after that. I started playing APBA when I was a little bit older, probably around 12 years old. The game itself was well thought out and a lot of fun to play. Each card had some stats and biographical information on the back. The player choices were odd, so, for example, there was never a Joe DiMaggio card, but lesser greats like Pete Runnels were in he game. The game came out in the mid-70s, so the most recent players then were Mays, Aaron, Koufax and a few later players. It was a dice and card game like Strat-o-Matic, but it only had all-time greats. Superstar Baseball was only around for a few years, but it was an unusual game. ![]() Lincoln Mitchell - Growing up I played both Superstar Baseball and APBA. ![]()
