2023 Baseball America Season Card Set
Now in its eleventh consecutive season, Baseball America’s 2023 card set once again includes over 300 player cards. This year you have a choice of presentations. There's a standard "generic" presentation in classic black and white print with teams identified numerically so you can choose your own cities and nicknames. Or, go with our fan-favorite, full-color presentation with team identities (cities, nicknames, logos and colors) established with last year's 10th anniversary set!
Both sets (standard and deluxe) are printed on easy-to-separate micro-perfed card stock. Both sets include a collection of 32 umpire cards, 18 different ball park cards which you can assign to your teams as you wish, and an "Instant Results" table listing projected 2023 win ranges for each of the league's twelve teams.
Ready to be the commissioner of your own personal baseball league? Here's everything you need to DO it!
In April of 2013, we introduced Baseball America, a fictional big league baseball universe where YOU are the commissioner. Now, the saga continues with a brand NEW year of baseball--and, just like in real-life spring training, some players have returned, poised for big production, others are hoping just to hang on to a roster spot. Of course, many of the league's established stars are back for "business as usual." But some of last year's players aren't even in the league anymore—they've either retired, been demoted to the minors, or simply not offered a new contract. Taking their places is a crop of newly-carded prospects, each ready to show you what they've got!
You'll get individual cards for over 300 ball players, from superstar to scrub. That's enough to stock twelve teams. You can use all or some of the players, to create a circuit custom-tailored to your table-top plans. The cards come in the standard HMB design (see examples at right) each identified by the season rather than by a specific club. Each player also has an optional numerical team assignment, offering you the choice of ready-made rosters if you'd rather not spend the time and effort crafting your own. However, you're welcome to distribute players the way you want to! You can create parity, with all your clubs having strengths and weaknesses, or you can set up your league to have clear-cut championship cup favorites.
On our 01.26.23 PLAAY Space “Baseball America Training Camp Tour” YouTube stream (6pm MST, 8pm EST), we'll tour all twelve Baseball America spring training camps in a "Hot Stove Show" highlighting key players and providing season outlooks for each club.
Afterwards, we'll post the "Cliff's Notes" summary for each team here!
