Big League Baseball bills itself as 'The World Series of Baseball Games.' It uses a curious dice-rolling mechanism that allows players to try to place their fly balls, ground balls, and bunts on a spot of the field least covered by opposing fielders. Strategy comes into play on offense in strategically allocating dice for a fly ball on defense with positioning fielders to optimally cover the field.No production date is given, but one of the Sid Sackson collection copies of this game was marked as being acquired in 1983. - BoardGameGeek
