Abstract
A pinball type baseball game is disclosed in which a play surface simulating a baseball diamond is rotatably mounted on a frame. A plurality of figurines are adapted to be selectively and removably mounted on the play surface at predetermined locations representing the bases of the diamond. A selectively operable drive and control mechanism is provided in the frame for rotating the play surface on the frame in an apparently random sequence of different angular movements of one revolution or less to simulate movement of baseball players when the batter has achieved a "hit". The drive and control mechanism is activated by the projection of a ball on the play surface into a predetermined pocket on the play surface representing the "hit".
