Amazon.com Product Description
Leave the 21st century behind and enjoy hours of family fun with the old-timey Front Porch Classics Baseball pinball game, which comes adorned with the logo and colors of your favorite major league team. Front Porch Classics Baseball has received numerous awards, including a Parents' Choice Award and the FamilyFun Magazine 2002 Toy of the Year. 
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

 Rocky's Review January 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am eight years old and got the Front Porch Classics Baseball Pinball Game as a present. It is really fun to play by myself or with my mom or friends. It is really challenging just like the game of baseball should be. The only problem with the game is when your shot is an out, it is sort of hard to get the pinballs without tipping the whole game. Maybe you should put runways or something inside so the balls come out easier. Other than that, I LOVE this game. Go SF Giants!!! Rocky

My kids got this as a gift last year. Now that it is discounted so much, it is definitely worth it. Sturdy, solid construction. A nice toy, ideal if you have a game room or play room where it can stay set up.
A nice nostalgic gift for an adult - contains a few small parts July 25, 2007

This was purchased as a gift. However I opened it first to see that all of the parts were there and it worked. I am happy to say that they were and it does.
It is a bit smaller that I had imagined. I must have not properly read the dimensions. It is still a nice table top or desk sized game. It is sturdy and well constructed. This game only took a couple of minutes to assemble. Instructions were included, but not necessary, even for me. I am not mechanical. It even looks cute.
I'll admit it. I tried it out before putting it in the box. It was fun for a few minutes. It would not hold my interest for very long. I know it will the recipient, though. That's all that matters. :)
