From the day that Babe Ruth
first slipped on his Yankee pinstripes, baseball fans
around the world have either loved the Yankees or hated
them with a passion. This 1960's board game capitalized
on those emotions as you tried to "Challenge the
Yankees". This game has become one of the most
popular post-war baseball games in the hobby- and for
good reason- it has everything. The cover of the box has
a magnificent drawing of the "old" Yankee
Stadium. It also has cameo drawings of three of
their stars- Mickey Mantle, Tom tresh and Elston
Howard. The contents are loaded too. It comes with the
game board, score board, strategy & result cards and
of course, 50 picture playing cards. There are 25
Yankee cards including Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi
Berra and Whitey Ford. The challenger cards include some
of the all-time greats like Hank Aaron, Al Kailne, Eddie
Mathews and Juam Marichal. One player takes the Yankees,
and the other takes a collection of Major League All
Star players. Die rolls indexed on each batter determine
the result of a pitch; special card draws add further
random behavior to fly balls, ground balls, and base
hits of varying types.
