Father invented

Yes, my father had a meaning for all the combinations, we played constantly with lineups etc, kept stats and everything. I still associate dice rolls with the baseball game meaning. Interestingly, they were different than the others mentioned. (We even had a football version). Believe it or not Vern Law once pitched a perfect game. I still marvel at how real the games and stats seemed.
FYI there is a great novel involving an extremely complex dice league by Coover, entitled The Universal Baseball Association, recommended if you have not read it yet. If interested in the rules I could give you most of them from memory, but I may need a few days to find my actual , original sheet. I think what made so great was you could play alone, against a friend, or as a tournament. Nice memories, thanks for the question. By the way this was mostly late 50's early 60's although must confess there were a few games in college also.
