Baseball (1941)

This version of baseball was produced in 1941 by Milton Bradley. It is a physical dexterity game that uses a thick cardboard bat about 3.4" long, with a wood semi-circle glued to the underside about 1/3 in from the handle, and with a small hole near the tip of the bat. There are 8 small glass balls, 4 white and 4 black. The cardboard playing field is inset into the box bottom, and is punched with a variety of holes.

The rules on the side of the box say that when batting, a player puts the bat about 2" from the home-plate corner of the box, mounts a ball of his color on the hole in the bat, and then brings down his finger with a sharp blow to the bat handle. This launches the ball up and onto the playing field. Falling into one of four large oblong holes around the pitcher's mound is a strike. Dropping into the round hole near each fielder is an out. Dropping into any of the numbered holes is a safe hit of that many bases. There is a home run hole in deep center field. If a launched ball fails to fall into any of the holes, it is a ball. Three strikes cause an out, while four balls of course generate a walk. Successful hits are marked by putting balls into holes on the appropriate bases before batting again.

The game can be found listed in "Baseball Games from Antique Baseball to Modern Baseball Sims".
