Transogram Pitch-up

From 1962-69, Transogram made a number of plastic products that featured baseball Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. In the first year, the endorsement contract with Transogram earned the two players more money in royalties than they did from playing baseball with their respective ball clubs that year. The Copyright MCMLXVII (1967)Transogram Company Inc. Mantle & Mays Pitch-Up Practice Batter baseball game came with a 23 inch plastic bat, an unbreakable plastic baseball, and a "pitch-up" peddle. The Pitch-Up was one of a number of variations of the "Mantle & Mays Home Run Trainer" issued in 1962.

The self practicing Pitch-Up batting trainer was operated by getting into a batting stance, then step on the pitching device peddle, popping the ball in the air then you swing the bat. The front of the die-cut box pictures Mantle & Mays head shots in black and white. The side panels also read "Mantle & Maris Pitch-Up Practice Batter."
