Playing APBA Baseball Tabletop Game since 1976:

APBA (pronounced "APP-BAH") is a game company located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was created in 1951 by Richard Seitz. APBA, represents the American Professional Baseball Association.

The company's first offering was a baseball simulation table game using cards to represent each major league player, boards to represent different on-base scenarios (e.g. "Bases Empty"), and dice to generate random numbers. The game can be played against another person or in solitaire fashion. Devoted fans keep track of the results and assess how players' performance compares to their real-life statistics.

The game company later produced football, golf, basketball, hockey, bowling, and saddle racing games modeled after the baseball game (cards, boards and dice).

Later, computer adaptations of some of these games were produced.
