Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Ethan Allen's All-Star Baseball Game is believed to be the first popular stats-based sports game, the original in a significant game genre.
More About Ethan Allen's All-Star Baseball Game: This baseball simulation came with individual disks that were placed on spinners. The disks represented players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams and Stan Musial. Pitching played no role in Ethan Allen's All-Star Baseball Game, but it was based on actual statistics from the included players.
