GAME PULSE: 1980 SEASON SET

===========================

Step into the season a 97-year wait finally ended. This set brings the complete

1980 professional baseball season to Game Pulse - all 26 teams, every player,

and authentic ballpark cards reflecting real-world park factors.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

---------------

- All 26 team rosters with full player cards (position players and pitchers)

- Every major league ballpark, with ratings derived from 1980 park

performance data

- New ratings built from the full 1980 regular season and postseason

CARD GENERATION

---------------

Every card is generated from actual 1980 season statistics. Batter and pitcher

ratings are built from real performance data across the full season, with park

factors computed from each stadium's run environment - so Mike Schmidt's card

reflects his MVP season, and every ballpark plays the way it played.

48

--

Mike Schmidt put together the finest season of a Hall of Fame career and carried

the Philadelphia Phillies to the top. He led the majors with 48 home runs,

drove in 121 runs, and ran away with his second National League MVP. Then he

did it again in October, hitting .381 with two homers to claim World Series MVP

and deliver the franchise its first championship in 97 years of trying. Regular

season, playoffs, and Fall Classic - the best player in baseball was the best

player on the field when it mattered most. Every one of those 48 swings - all

baked into his card.

A SEASON FULL OF STARS

----------------------

Beyond Schmidt's masterpiece, 1980 was packed with stars writing history. George

Brett chased the ghost of Ted Williams all summer, sitting above .400 as late as

mid-September before finishing at .390 - the highest average anyone had posted

since Williams hit .406 in 1941 - on his way to the AL MVP. Steve Carlton was

overpowering for the champions, going 24-9 with a 2.34 ERA to capture his third

NL Cy Young, while Baltimore's Steve Stone won 25 games and took the AL Cy

Young. A 21-year-old Rickey Henderson swiped 100 bases, the first American

Leaguer ever to reach the mark. Reggie Jackson tied for the AL home run lead

with 41, Willie Wilson piled up 230 hits, and "Super Joe" Charboneau took home

AL Rookie of the Year. Every star's real 1980 performance is here, card for

card.

RELIVE THE 1980 WORLD SERIES

----------------------------

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Kansas City Royals. After nearly a century without a

title, the Phillies took the Fall Classic in six games, with Tug McGraw striking

out Willie Wilson to end Game 6 and set off Philadelphia. It was a duel of the

game's two best third basemen - Schmidt's power against Brett's .390 bat - and

the last of the original franchises finally got its crown. Replay it batter by

batter, manage either side, or run the series a few dozen times to see how often

history repeats itself. Every at-bat, every pitching change, every ballpark

detail - all driven by the real 1980 cards and the roll of the dice.
