It included 20 players on each at-that-time current (1970 season) baseball team, presented on tri-fold color charts. The following two years, they released new editions to cover the most recent season. For 1972, they switched to teams of 25 players each, on double-sided color charts without folds. Sports Illustrated published a baseball game in 1971 that was designed by David Neft, leader of the team who created the first Macmillan’s Baseball Encyclopedia in 1969. The game was made with quality pieces and each team had 25 players on a team sheet. The 1971 season teams were rated for players batting and pitching against left handed and right handed batters and pitchers. This was ground-breaking at the time. The game had three dice that were special dice, a black die that read 1, 2 and 3, a white die that read zero, 1, 2, 3 and 4 and another white die that read zero, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The game rolled first on the pitchers ratings, some would then refer to the batting ratings. A pitcher such as Vida Blue would have some strikeouts on his card and that would be it for the batter.
