Off topic for this thread, but since you mentioned it...

My brother and I had a simple dice baseball game that we played all the time when we were kids. We kept stats over entire seasons and played multiple seasons with the same teams.

I have been trying to figure out what that game was, but I have never been able to find it anywhere. We always called it "Dice Roll Baseball", but I don't know whether that was an official name or if that's just how we referred to it.

All it was was a single cardboard stand with 2 sides. I remember one side being gray and the other being maybe a light peach-ish color. I think one side was for players with 20+ home runs, and the other side was the for players with less than 20 home runs. On each side there was a table of dice results (2-12 based on a 2d6 roll) for the rows and then the columns broken out by batting average ranges. So if you rolled a 7, you would find the corresponding value in the table based on what that player's batting average was.

I recall the 10's or 11's typically being home runs, 12's being triples, with some exceptions again depending on the batting average range. Does this sound familiar at all???
