Baseball Games with Baseball Cards?

    My twin nieces, SisA and SisB, have become ape-crazy baseball fans the last couple of years. I think it mostly resulted from Sis B breaking her leg during a game two years ago and being forced to watch most of the 2017 season on the couch on teevee.

    Completely at random, I saw a guy giving away a stash of old baseball cards for free on Craigslist, so I went and grabbed it. About 2,500 cards from the period 1985-95. (Ironically, the players who were in MLB when their mom, StarSis, was roughly their ages.)

    Does anybody know any kind of ABPA/Strat-O-Matic type baseball sim games you can play using baseball cards for the players?

    Something fairly easy and cheap to play-- if either the price or learning curve is very stiff, I'd probably just get 'em ABPA or Strat.

    Just get them Strata and the cards in the game will be just as precious as those with their pictures. PSST go lookup Him Jeffcoat circa (82 or 83?) that dude had the best reverse splits for a lefty or Nolan who dominated everyone (notwithstanding so so W-L record). I cherished those cards.
