The Sports Illustrated Baseball Game went
through a number of changes over the years. The game was released
in 2 different formats under the original SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
BASEBALL GAME title, a bookcase version and a longbox version. In
this incarnation the game used color-coded charts (1 for each major
league team) representing the perfomances of major league players over
the course of the previous season. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED ALL-TIME
ALL-STARS BASEBALL GAME (ATAS) used the same general format but instead
of current players the game contained 16 charts of the "All-Time
All-Stars" from each franchise.
Starting with the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED PENNANT RACE GAME the players were
no longer listed on charts. Instead players from the
previous season had individual cards. The game components
also got a make-over but the basic game play is still the same.
The game was again re-named in 1974 as the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SUPERSTAR
BASEBALL GAME. The game now included cards for only 96
Hall-Of-Fame callibur players. The game continued to be produced
in this format, with pretty much the exact same card set, until the
demise of Avalon Hill in the mid 1990's.
