Description[edit]

Released in April of 2000, 2000 MLB Showdown is a collectible card game made by Wizards of the Coast. The game simulates authentic Major League Baseball play, with randomness via a 20-sided die, player cards and strategy cards.

The outcome of an at-bat largely depends on the player cards. The player whose pitcher is pitching that turn rolls a die to determine whether the batting player rolls on the pitcher's chart or the batter's chart. Each of the two charts has a list of possible results from the at-bat.

Cards from the first printing run are labeled 1st Edition, while cards from later print run are called "Unlimited" and do not have the 1st logo on the front.

Distribution[edit]

Cards were available in booster packs, starter sets and draft packs.

The two-player Starter Set (MSRP $9.99)
