Brings back memories playing this game with my brother in 1964, living in the Bronx, being a Yankee fan. Pretty cool.

Thank you! I have always been curious about the game. I did not realize that was around for two seasons. Cool for the time period. Be nice to have a copy preserved somewhere.

Good review of the game I wasn't aware of it. The Yankees are my favorite team. I like how you use math for reviewing game's.

Like your thoughts on the “reimagining”…even though I agree it was meant more as a parlor game than a true baseball sim. Math is fun!😊

This game has been on my hit list for some time. It goes for a lot of money on ebay

Hi Steve, back in 2007 I was very fortunate to win a beautiful 1964 edition of CTY on eBay for less than the asking price of your Henry Aaron example. I would be happy to discuss the game or answer any questions you may have about it.

Had the game, way back when, bored with it, shelved it for decades, sold it for big bucks on ebay last year. Maybe it was because I was not a Yankee fan.

My older cousin had this game and I remember playing it with him back in the 60s while growing up in New Jersey.
