The popular baseball web site, BaseballGuru.com, unveiled an innovative baseball simulation game, gaining competitive price and product variation advantage through a clever distribution strategy.

The small company distributes a free baseball board game over the Internet by allowing players to print out the cards and game charts. Along with the basic set, the company also released inexpensive specialty card sets, many of which, their competitors cannot afford to produce, making this system more compelling to game players. Plus, new card sets are quicker to market. The 2002 season set for example, became available just two weeks after the season ended.

Craig Tomarkin, inventor of the game and owner of the web site said, “The game player ultimately benefits, because there are no surprises with what you get. And, even though the “cards” print out on plain paper, the system is refined and addictive.”

The game is innovative in its design as well. The unique player salary on each card, based on the players’ actual performance, lets you know what he was really worth, making this game ideal for drafting teams using salary caps. “Clutch” and “Choke” ratings for performance in pressure situations add to the excitement of close, late inning, pitcher batter confrontations. And, rare special events such as the hidden ball trick, corked bats and bench clearing brawls add fun and realism. None of the competitors offer all of these additional features.
