Home Run Derby is a simple baseball game. Each player creates a nine-member team either by rolling on a table or by choosing a real team's current starting lineup; in each case only the batting averages matter. When a baseball player comes up to bat two dice are rolled to determine if they get a hit, sacrifice, walk, or are out. If they get a hit a roll is made on a second table to determine the outcome. Bases can be stolen, which is also resolved via dice roll. The defending player's only decision is whether to issue an intentional walk.
