What players say
Highlights
- Real hitters from the 1920s to the 2020s, era-adjusted
- Classic, stat-blind Challenge and shared Daily modes
- Results grade each lineup spot by how dominant that hitter was in his era
Keep in mind
- Best if you know some baseball history, especially in Challenge mode where stats are hidden
- Runs are quick, so it's a short-session game
About 162-0
Each round rolls a random team and a random decade; you choose one hitter from that team-decade's real roster and slot him into an open position, with the DH accepting anyone. You get one team re-roll and one decade re-roll per run. Player lines come from the Lahman baseball database, Negro Leagues seasons included, and every stat is era-adjusted so a 1920s slugger and a modern one compete on equal terms.

Lineups are graded on runs, home runs, RBI, average and OPS, so a balanced order beats pure power. Classic mode shows stats while you draft, Challenge hides them so you draft from memory, and Daily mode locks in the same five starters for everyone. It's made for baseball fans who love arguing about the best players across eras; the page credits the NBA draft game 82-0 as its inspiration.
