Back in the late 90’s and the advent of internet fantasy sports, a few dedicated public servants from the City of North Branch began its fantasy adventure.  Football, basketball, and baseball.  The league interest grew toward the direction of Diamond-Mind Baseball.  The base of the group was made up of city officials, and cops.  Soon the league attracted people who make real money like engineers, and financial managers. 

This is more than a fantasy league.  This is a simulation of actual events and outcomes.  Time after time, Diamond Mind Baseball has been chosen as the best computer baseball game for your PC by reviewers throughout the industry. Why? Ease of use, unmatched realism, statistical accuracy, speed and constant improvement over the past fourteen years.

As the manager of your own big league club, you choose your starting lineups from rosters of real players.  Almost everything that happens on the field in big-league baseball can happen in Diamond Mind Baseball, including rundowns, pickoffs, outfielders missing the cutoff man, arguments with umpires, ejections, dropped third strikes, brawls, and pitchers leaving games when their arms stiffen during a long rain delay.  And Diamond Mind Baseball offers the first and only statistically accurate pitch-by-pitch simulation ever developed. You'll be amazed at how much more strategy and drama is introduced to the game when you can call for pickoff throws and pitchouts, give your batter the green light on 3-0 pitches, and change your tactics on every pitch.

Your players make great plays and a few blunders, too, just as in real life. Certain ballparks will yield many more doubles and homers than other parks. The outcome of some games will turn on a wind-blown fly ball or a fielder slipping on wet turf. You may suffer an injury to a key player just when you need him most, forcing you to sign a free agent, make a trade or call up a player from your farm system.  Diamond Mind Baseball automatically tracks injuries, forces managers to rest pitchers and catchers when they are tired, and compiles detailed batting, pitching, and fielding statistics.

Simplicity. You do not have to be an expert in computers, nor do you have to know all the players. All player ratings, strategy options, and statistics are presented clearly when you need them.

Realism. To determine the outcome of every play, Diamond Mind Baseball examines the performance of the batter and pitcher against left- and right-handed opponents, how the defense is positioned, whether the pitcher is tired, ballpark effects, offensive and defensive tactics, the home field advantage, and weather conditions.

Detailed player ratings. Players ratings cover every meaningful aspect of performance. Batters are rated for their ability to hit for average and power, draw walks, avoid strikeouts, hit ground balls or fly balls, hit to the opposite field, bunt, and run the bases. Pitcher ratings include the ability to prevent hits, induce ground balls, avoid walks and extra-base hits, get the key strikeout, and hold runners close. Fielders have separate ratings for range, errors, and throwing, and are rated for each position they play. Just as in real life, your players may or may not do all the little things that help you win.

Pitcher fatigue. Diamond Mind Baseball tracks your use of the pitching staff in each game and from game to game. It also tracks how many times a game a reliever has warmed up. A pitcher gradually loses effectiveness as he gets more and more tired.

Reports. Diamond Mind Baseball provides a wide range of standard reports, including team standings; league leaders in dozens of hitting, pitching, and fielding categories; team batting, pitching, and fielding totals; individual player hitting, pitching, and fielding stats; game scores; and much more.
