Purpose of use

To provide an visual depiction of Boros with his Apple II. Boros used the Apple II during the 1983 season to guide his managerial decisions. His application of computer technology to baseball became the subject of widespread media coverage in 1983 and 1984 and has been cited by historians as "the first manager to make extensive use of computers in his decision-making process."

Replaceable?

There is no free alternative available to depict Boros's historic use of the Apple II computer to guide his managerial decisions. Also, the same photograph has been previously published in other sources, including the Schwartz/Gammons book.
