This Automatic Action Baseball Pitching
Game, manufactured by Louis Marx & Co.,
Hit the shelves in 1958. The battery
operated mechanical game pitches 3
plastic balls in six second intervals, and you can

bedroom! - Or - If mom throws you out, it
can be used outdoors. The sturdy
Lithographed steel pitching machine can
help you perfect your skills.
The Bottom of the game features the operating instructions, and how to
insert the "two standard flashlight
batteries." The top-front reads "Pitch'em ... Hit'em ... Catch'em"
with the red Starter Button below, to
the left of the ball cup mechanism, and
to the right of a graphic of a Picher.
The back features a baseball team with
uniform numbers on the front. The left
side has a catcher with an umpire
calling a "Strike," on the right

his toy company to the Quaker Oats
