Avalon Hill/Sports Illustrated's PENNANT RACE was a simpler version of a statistical replay game. Instead of playing out an entire game batter by batter it used random numbers to generate a likely end result for each game. This allows you to replay the season much quicker. I believe it was only produced for 2 seasons (1982 and 1983). It has no relation to the earlier PENNANT RACE game released by Sports Illustrated in 1972.
The game parts are in EXCELLENT condition. The game is 100% complete with all parts accounted for. It includes a complete sets of 26 team charts for the 1983 season, the club record pad, the league standings pad, the instructions and the 6 colored dice. The only sign of use is tthat the roster booklet has shows light handling. Overall I would grade the game parts 8 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box
is in EXCELLENT condition. It has some light shelf wear
including rubbing and a small crease on the lid caused by having
another game stacked on top. I would grade it a 7 on a
10
scale (see condition guide below).

CONDITION GUIDE:
MINT
(10): I will only give this grade
to brand new, unused items. NEAR MINT (9):
Shows virtually no use. Seldom if ever played.
Perhaps some very light handling creases to the
instructions
or other minor flaws with the game parts. Boxes will have
only
the slightest hint of shelf wear. EXCELLENT (7-8):
The game has seen some use but it was obviously well taken care of.
Game parts
might have
some light handling creases or other signs of
careful use. Board might have just a hint of color loss or
dented
corners. Boxes will have light rubbing to the artwork or
perhaps
some minor dishing or a very light stain. VERY GOOD (5-6):
The game was not especially well cared for but it still has
faired pretty well. Game
parts will show obvious use but nothing will be torn, badly
stained or have any serious damage. Box may have
some
rubbing, light staining, dishing, 1 or 2 neatly split corners,
minor writing and/or a few pieces of tape. No major
structural
damage and artwork will still be generally attractive. GOOD (3-4):
Obviously no care was taken with the game but it is still playable as
is. Game parts show
considerable use but the game is complete with all parts in
usable
condition. Box may have staining, writing, split
corners,
dishing and/or other structural damage but it will be intact and still
usable. POOR
(1-2):
Only suitable to fill a space in your collection.
Game will be missing
parts (these will be noted). Box will have serious damage and
may
be missing aprons or badly torn.
