1952 Baseball Game

THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS GAME PARTS. Longtime fans of Strat know that we’ve carded every season from 1947 to 2025, except for the elusive 1952 season. That all changes in 2026 as we are excited to announce that we will be releasing 1952 for the first time ever, created to include all Super Advanced features. Experience a classic World Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees, the fourth of twelve championships meetings between the franchises to date. The Yanks won this series in seven over Brooklyn, led by the contributions of Mickey Mantle, Gene Woodling, Johnny Mize, and Yogi Berra. On the Dodgers side, get ready to experience great seasons from legends such as Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges, and Roy Campanella, who all helped guide the Dodgers to a Major League-best 96 wins. While the Dodgers and the Yankees were the best individual teams in 1952, the most notable individual performances came from elsewhere. Bobby Shantz, the starting pitcher for Philadelphia Athletics, won American League MVP honors for his dominant season in which he won a league-best 24 games and pitched to a 2.48 ERA. The NL MVP was given to left fielder Hank Sauer of the Chicago Cubs for his 37 homers and 121 RBIs. Ralph Kiner tied Sauer with 37 home runs for his seventh consecutive home run title. Stan Musial hit .336 with 42 doubles and a .538 slugging percentage, all league bests. Other notable teams to play with are the Cleveland Indians, who fielded a dominant rotation of starters featuring Early Wynn, Mike Garcia and Bob Lemon, as well as the New York Giants, who won 92 games despite losing 21-year-old Willie Mays to the Army. Rated for Basic, Advanced, and Super-Advanced play. Every game includes 441 player cards, almost 28 players per team. Enhanced by 1200 additional hours of box-score analysis and in-depth research to create exclusive Strat-O ratings. Add to Wishlist
