Big Hurt Gottlieb, 1995
Bobby Orr's Power Play Bally, 1978
Chicago Cubs 'Triple Play' Gottlieb, 1985
Michael Jordan Data East, 1992
NFL Stern, 2001
Space Jam Sega, 1996

I believe Chicago is the only city where all the major league sports teams are represented by pinball machines, which makes sense because so many of the manufacturers were in Illinois.

White Sox - Frank Thomas Big Hurt
Cubs - Chicago Cubs Tripple Play
Bears - Stern NFL with Bears translite
Bulls - Michael Jordan, and Space Jam (kind of)
Blackhawks - Bobby Orr Power Play

I'm wondering if anyone has ever put a partial or full Chicago Sports themed line-up together. Pictures would be great! I realize production on the Michael Jordan was only 7, so that would be the tough one, but the others are all plentiful.

Boston represented:

1) Basketball: NBA Fastbreak has a Celtics team logo on the front decal.
2) Hockey: Bobby Orr is a Bruin.
3) Baseball. Frank Thomas played in the American League so he played in Fenway.
4) Football. Tom Brady likes Pinball.

I never thought of all that

And there is no rational reason that you should have.
