ABSTRACT:
A baseball game apparatus having a body with a top surface and a bottom surface, interconnected by first and second side surfaces. A plurality of vertically stacked plates defining stage fields are positioned at one end of the body. Side portions of the top surface are spaced from the side surfaces to define foul ball openings so that balls can fall from the top surface to the bottom surface. A portion of the bottom surface forms a ball collecting portion and the bottom surface is shaped or sloped to direct balls to the ball collecting portion. An opening is formed in a central portion of the top surface at a position spaced from the stage fields, the opening having a first portion for the passage of a bat and a second portion for the passage of the bat and a ball, which ball strikes a sounder on the bottom surface. A horizontally-extending bat supporting bar is positioned below the top surface with one end portion rotatably supported by one of the side surfaces of the body and another end portion supported by and extending through the other side surface to a handle. A bat has a first portion connected to the bar, a second portion forming a hitting portion, and a spring interconnecting the first and second portions. A ball guide rail extends downwardly from a pitching opening formed in one of the stage fields to the opening in the top surface for guiding a ball past the bat.
