Earl Weaver Baseball is a baseball simulation released by Electronica Arts in 1987 for MS-DOS, then ported to Amiga, Macintosh, and Apple II.
The developers, Mirage Graphics, worked with the legendary baseball manager Earl Weaver to create this title. It's not just a matter of licensing. This is probably why this simulation is still considered one of the best baseball sims out there. The graphics, unfortunately, were not improved when the game was converted from PC to Amiga. This is a pity because the Amiga could have done so much better. But if you ignore the simple look & feel, you will discover a game that will make any baseball fan super happy. You can customize everything: you can create ballparks, players, teams, and schedules; you can assign stats to the players and change everything.
