I picked up a baseball board game called Bottom of the 9th. It's pretty fun! There are character cards with different traits for pitching or batting. There's dice, there's a rock-paper-scissor mental game to the pitching, and there's a speed roll-off mechanic with shouting. When there's contact made, the two players immediately start rolling dice rapid fire. Whoever rolls a 6 first shouts "out" or "safe" and yes, you can shout the wrong one, and yes, it counts. A majority of the gameplay comes from the two players putting down two chips. One labeled high/low, the other is inside/away. Every pitcher has a specialty pitch, say low and inside, that when thrown gives them some advantage. The batter might think he's going for that and puts his chips down as low and away. If he gets one or both right, now HE gets an advantage. I'm probably not doing the best job of explaining it, but it scratches some sort of itch for me.
