Cadaco - All-Star Baseball
I was reading some old posts about baseball board games. I don't think I remember anyone posting about All-Star Baseball.
This game gave You had discs for each player. Does anyone remember playing this game? My brother and I use to create whole seasons with this game.

I HAD to have Rico Petrocelli at short. Don Kessinger was horrible. You had to put the cardboard disc in a slot that had an arrow that you spun. Whatever it landed on is what you got....single , double, etc. I think I still have it at my folks house in their attic.....at least I hope I do. My buddies and I would do seasons, series,whatever. Now I gotta find....I feel like playing it. |

I pulled mine out today.
 When I was a kid, I had the All Time Greats. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Ty Cobb to name a few. In order to make the draft from all of these players fair I would toss the players discs into the box top and shuffle them around upside down and then pull them out one at a time to be placed on different teams. My brother still has some of our old discs at his house. He also made a few up himself for him and I.

Memories
God that takes me back. I had the 1977 version and I played with my brother all the time. Then we got the Hall of Fame version. We did the same "blind" draft with the discs upside-down. I always got stuck with Dave Brancroft at short. NOT GOOD. The HOF version also included a battery powered spinner to reduce cheating. The manual spinners would get warped and seem to stop at the same places. I would love to spend an evening with my brother playing All Star or Sports Illustrated (1971 edition). Those were magical times that unfortunatly seem gone forever.

I think they just stop making it a few years ago. I would like to get a bunch of those discs.

Hey, I made several hundred dollars selling old Strat-O-Matic cards on ebay. All-Star doesn't have the same following, but I bet the old fans are still out there.

I just got an email back from Cadaco. They are going to send me a list of available players. If anyone is interested please email me.
