ABSTRACT:
A baseball board game for two or more players includes a simulated baseball playing field, a manually controlled pitching mechanism to pitch the ball across a home plate area, a catching receptacle for designating whether a particular pitched ball is a ball or a strike, a manually operated bat for contacting the pitched ball and directing it to one of a plurality of pockets located around the perimeter of the playing surface. The various pockets are assigned different designations corresponding to hits and outs to the various field positions in an actual game of baseball. The pocket designations are assigned according to directional constraints, hit-to-out probability and the frequency of hitting to each pocket in order to produce a simulated game that closely resembles the actual game of baseball. The game also signals whether a player has swung through at a particular pitched ball and the game may be operated in a base-stealing mode to further add to the interest and excitement of the contest.
