In 1969, Milton Bradley joined APBA and Strat-o-matic and issued
their first baseball card board game, then again in 1970 and 1972.
The 1969 (and 1972) baseball games came with several perforated sheets
containing a total of (296) unnumbered 2x3 inch cards.
The cards were very plain, with a black & white player portrait on
front and red and black game outcomes on back.
Since the game wasn't sanctioned by Major League Baseball, team logos
were removed making the set even duller. And if it wasn't boring
enough, each team had a header card with no photo.
Interestingly, a MLB Players logo is prominent on the game's scoreboard
but they did not endorse the game ???
Luckily the set had it's share of star players like Roberto Clemente,
Willie Mays, Hank Aaron & a REGGIE JACKSON ROOKIE !!!
1969 and 1972 Milton Bradley cards are almost exactly the same.
EXCEPT:
The 1969's red '1's do not have a base
The 1972's red '1's DO have a base.
The following cards did NOT have any red '1's but are 1969's:
Agee, Alvis, Braves(Pinch Hitter), Orioles(2nd Base), Cepeda, Haller,
Horton(Willie), Howard(Frank), Mazeroski, Mincher,
Morton-was NOT in 1972 set, Pepitone, Perez, San Diego Padres(SS).
There are some dice roll differences between the 1969 and 1972 sets.
