ABSTRACT:
A miniature simulated baseball game utilizing an air pitched and batted ball on a board with natural component playing surfaces including artificial grass, raised canvas bases and a simulated dirt infield. The ball used in this game is light in weight and may be altered prior to play. When pitched through the air, a hard slider, riding fastball or change up is easily simulated. A pitching rubber allows a pitcher to get loft or arc on a pitched ball. Batting the air pitched ball produces an unexpected variety of basehits and plays usually limited to the conventional game of baseball. A padded recessed battersbox enables a batter to hit the air pitched ball. An audible strike indicator in an adjustable strike zone addes to the spontaneity of this game. The game has three dimentional baserunners in different poses to simulate breaking on the pitch and leading and tagging and defensive fielders. Miniature light towers gives players the opportunity to play a simulated night baseball game. This game includes a reversible pitching lane wherein younger less experienced players may play a simulated air pitched and batted ballgame. The range of skill and ability is from sandlot to professional baseball and the game is fun to play.
