Designed by 1920's-1930's MLB
ballplayer Ethan Allen, this All Star
Baseball game, manufactured by Cadaco
Inc., first appeared in 1941, was
revised in 1966, again in 1968 and
1988. It was the best selling baseball
board game of all time. The game was
discontinued in the mid-1990s due to
the loss of market share to video games
and the increased player licensing
costs.
The game is designed for two
players "each acting as manager of one
team" More players my act as
co-managers or additional players may
challenge the winning manager to a
game. The rules and play of All*Star
Baseball as the instructions read on
the inner lid of the box "are the same
as in real Baseball. Players are
assumed to have a general idea of the
rules of baseball. Those who do not
should refer to a baseball guide."
Equipment: 60 All Star player discs,
Strategy disc (A-E and F-J); Baseball
Diamond (board) "At Bat" Spinners with
fielding K-O dials; 4 plastic Pegs used
for runners (wooden pegs before 1967);
Bating Key; Score Pad; Scoreboard
(inserts into board) with Runs per
inning and Outs dials, and keys for A-E
and F-J Strategy plays and K-O Dial.
Cadaco updated the discs/cards annually, adding new players and updated
stats. The
older cards were sometimes, sold
older cards through a mail order. Cards
made in 1967 and before are die-cut in
the center, to fit over a Cardboard
block. In 1968 the board is redesigned,
removing the block, and a plastic
sleeve is added to insert the cards.
The original 1969 Cadaco discs were
printed with the incorrect positions,
and were corrected later in the year.
Player photographs were added to the
cards in 1989 to attract collectors,
but the effort failed as the board game
market loses out to the video game
generation.
