I don't have a lot of details surrounding the distribution, but I believe it was either a giveaway or more likely sold
in the team store. My only reasoning that it might be a giveaway is that along with a set of O's cards was a set
of Orlando Twins cards.
Unfortunately, it was issued in 1981 and not 1980, so no Cal Ripken Jr card. Some future Orioles included
with the game are Storm Davis, John Shelby and Vic Rodriguez.
Any additional info would be appreciated.

Any board game with baseball cards included is alright with me. I like the look of both the O's and the Twins cards. Wonder if they had other team cards made for all the teams to make the game even more interesting.
