The cover of the Parker Brothers
baseball tabletop board
game features great graphics
depicting 1940's fedora wearing baseball fans watching
a ball game. The center field
scoreboard headlines "Parker Brothers
Baseball Game" The bottom left corner
reads: "Parker Brothers nc" in script,
and below "Salem, Massachusetts, New
York - Chicago - London, Made in
U.S.A."
The 12.75" x 20" game board or "Playing Field" has slots in the outfield,
the "Pitchers end" to insert the score
board. It also acts as a shield to
prevent the batter from seeinng the
pitch selection made by the pitcher. A
wooden knob is
used so the pitcher can select 1
of 4 pitches; Outside - Bad Pitch, Fast
Ball - Good Pitch, Inside - Bad Pitch &
Curve Ball - Good Pitch. There is also
a wooden knob on the batters side in
the "Batter Up" position, and then can
select "No Swing" to the left, and
"Swing" to the right. The playing field
also has a window which reveals the
results of play made by the pitcher and
batter.
The game pieces or "Equipment" that comes in the equipment box consists of 8
wood "player pieces" used as runners, 4
red team, 4 blue team, and a pack of 48
cards that have a 1949 copyright. The
cards are separated into three piles by
the title on the green backed cards; 20
"Bases Empty," "20 Base Runners,"
7
"Steal." and the top cover
card. The front of the cards
features instructions of play such as
"long triple into left field corner" on
the Base Runner cards, "Out to right
field, on the Bases Empty cards, and
"Safe on over throw base runner takes
another base" on the steal cards. The
black & white cards also picture
offense and defensive baseball player.
Established in 1883, Parker Brothers, a
toy and game manufacturer has published
over 1,800 games including the iconic
Monopoly board game. The Parker
brothers baseball game originally sold
in 1950 was re-boxed in 1959, and again
in 1967. (pictures below)
