6419230 - Simulated baseball game and method

A simulated baseball game uses conventional cubical dice to determine the outcome of each play. However, the specific rules and method of play of the present game provide an advantage to the player knowledgeable about the actual game of baseball, as that player is better able to judge various decision making points such as steal and hit and run attempts, taking pitches, etc. The present game thus provides an excellent teaching tool for a person learning the theory behind the actual game of baseball. The present game includes a playing field (tangible structure, or electronic video representation) representing an exemplary baseball stadium with its infield, outfield, bases and base paths, score and status boards, etc. The playing field is divided into a series of zones corresponding to the additive numbers achieved by tossing the two cubical dice to determine the simulated location of a ball in play. The zones are organized to simulate the higher likelihood of a ball being hit to the left side of the field, as actually occurs due to the higher percentage of right handed batters and tendency to "pull" the ball to the opposite field. The method of play for the present game provides for action by the pitcher, batter, and (if necessary) the defense by rolling the dice, with players making further decisions during play. Additional methods for stealing bases, tagging up, and hit and run plays are also disclosed for the present game. The game is also adaptable to wagering and casino play.
