Abstract
A simulated baseball game can be constructed so as to utilize a simulated baseball tethered on an arm in such a manner that the ball can be rotated across a simulated baseball playing field. The arm is mounted on a pylon by a universal joint so that it can be rotated generally between the field area of the playing field and the home plate of the playing field. A spring-loaded, latch-controlled propulsion member mounted generally in the field area of the playing field is used to hit the ball so as to cause it to rotate from an at rest position in the field area of the playing field toward and across the home plate of the playing field. A simulated bat may be actuated during such movement of the ball in an effort to hit the ball toward any one of a plurality of targets located in the field area. A base hit or a home run is indicated by the ball hitting a target labeled so as to correspond to such a hit or a home run. A strike is indicated by the simulated bat having been actuated without hitting the ball or by the ball hitting against a designated area in back of the home plate area of the playing field. A ball is designated by the simulated baseball moving past the home plate area o…
