Nine Game Pennant

The air is crisp. The days are short. There are nine games left in the season, and the championship is within your grasp. 

Designed to provide the agonizing tension of a real pennant race in just two or three evenings of play, Nine Game Pennant focuses Deadball like never before. Pre-filled scorecards are given for each game remaining in every team’s schedule, allowing you to leap straight into the action.

This book includes two endlessly-replayable campaigns—one for 2018 and one for 1910. With Nine Game Pennant, it's October all year long.
