ABSTRACT:
An electronic game that simulates the game of baseball incudes a switch for signaling the occurrence of a batter swing as well as further switches for indicating the type of swing to be simulated. The outcomes of batter swings are determined on a probabilistic basis, and the probability of a safe hit when the swing type represents a "power" swing is always less than the probability of a safe hit when an ordinary swing is simulated. However, safe hits are more likely to occur as multiple base hits if they result from a "power" swing than if they result from an ordinary swing. Provision is also made for the simulation of ball and strike paths and attempted steals, and provision is further made for "tagging up" and stealing upon the simulation of some types of fly outs.
