Game Pulse: 1973 Season Set
Step into a season of dynasty, chase, and belief. This set brings the complete 1973 professional baseball season to Game Pulse — all 24 teams, every player, and authentic ballpark cards reflecting the quirks and dimensions of the era's classic venues.
What's Included
All 24 team rosters with full player cards (position players and pitchers)
Every 1973-era ballpark, with ratings derived from period park performance data
New ratings built from the full 1973 regular season, LCS, and World Series
Card Generation
Every card is generated from actual 1973 season statistics. Batter and pitcher ratings are built from real performance data across the full season, with park factors computed from each stadium's run environment — so Reggie Jackson's card reflects his MVP year, and the Oakland Coliseum plays the way it played.
A Season Full of Legends
1973 was loaded with stars writing history. Reggie Jackson won the AL MVP leading the A's to another championship. Nolan Ryan threw two no-hitters and struck out a record 383 batters. Hank Aaron finished the year at 713 home runs, one shy of Babe Ruth, setting up the most anticipated offseason in baseball history. Pete Rose won the NL MVP. Tom Seaver won another Cy Young. Willie Stargell hit 44 home runs. Jim Palmer, Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, Rod Carew, Gaylord Perry, Bert Blyleven — every star's real 1973 performance is here, card for card. The American League also introduced the designated hitter this season, reshaping offense forever.
Relive the 1973 World Series
Oakland A's vs. New York Mets. The Swingin' A's came in as defending champions. The Mets arrived on the back of Tug McGraw's "Ya Gotta Believe" rallying cry, storming from last place in August to a pennant. It went the full seven games — Reggie Jackson delivering the knockout blow, the A's becoming the first National League or American League team to repeat in over a decade. Replay it batter by batter, manage either side, or run the series a few dozen times to see how often history repeats itself. Every at-bat, every pitching change, every ballpark detail — all driven by the real 1973 cards and the roll of the dice.
