Description of Front Porch Classics Baseball Pinball Game

Players young and old launch the pinball and swing the bat to hit singles, doubles, triples, and home runs.

Beautifully crafted of solid wood with nostalgic graphics, this exquisitely detailed pinball-style coffee table game is powered by a spring and your imagination. Small enough to display beautifully on a desk or shelf, this miniature pinball-style game is loaded with authentic details that evoke the grand old ballparks of yesteryear. Launch the pinball and swing the bat to hit singles, doubles, and triples by maneuvering the ball into designated holes. Or, wallop the ball up the center ramp and hit a home run to the back of the stadium. Record each batter's performance on actual scorecards, while keeping track of runs scored on the stadium scoreboard.

It comes with 2 metal balls, 1 fabric ball storage bag, and a printed rule and scoring guide. Minimal assembly is required (for the stadium backdrop), and it measures 12.5 x 12.5 x 21.5 inches (H x W x D). This game is recommended for ages 8 and older.

Front Porch Classics Baseball Scoring
Although Front Porch Classics Baseball plays very much like the actual game, there are some differences.

• A strike is committed if one of the following occurs:
  • The ball does not leave the pitching channel
  • The ball gets past the bat
  • A player traps the ball with the bat
  • The ball leaves the game surface area

• A player may repeatedly hit a ball until either a base hit, an out, or a strike is committed.
• If a ball lands in a "hit" hole directly after being pitched (without the batter hitting the ball), it is considered a "hit by pitch" and the player may advance the runner to first base.
• If there are runners on base and a player hits a grand slam, the player will score four runs plus however many runners were on base.
• There are no balks, ball, walks, steals, double plays, sacrifices, errors, or fielders choice in Front Porch Classics Baseball
