FIELD OF INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The popularity of various baseball activities in which individuals simulate managing a group of players has grown in recent years. However, there is no opportunity for these baseball enthusiasts to experience managing an actual team in an actual game.

OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES
