The American Professional Baseball
Association, APBA - dates back to the
1930s and a bunch of high-school
buddies in Lancaster, PA. The boys
played a baseball simulation game
invented by one of them, Dick Seitz.
His game was loosely based on an old
tabletop baseball game called National
Pastime. But unlike any previous board
game, it combined the randomness of
dice with the on-field performances of
individual players.
The game involving baseball statistics, and strategy was first created,
and sold in 1951 by Dick Seitz. The
original game offered 20 player cards
for each of the 16 major league teams
and two play charts, for $10.00. The
150 games sold encouraged Seitz that
there was a market for his game so he
produced new versions annually from
1952-56. That steady increase in sales
encouraged Seitz to quit his job in
1957 to make APBA a career. APBA Games
and Collector Software are still based
in Lancaster, and to this day the APBA
baseball game played is not much
different than the 1957 version.
The Master Game consists of playing boards - more complex playing boards
and more than double the number
contained in the basic APBA Baseball
Game.
