Hi Steve, Do you have any more home run plastic for Williams 1963 Major League Baseball? Thanks, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the pin mail. Hope you like your new plastic for your Major League game. I think this batch came out well.

That's my old one in the picture, not sure what it was off of but it didn't have the arrows, somebody tried to draw them in.
Ron,
It is from the 1963 novelty version called the "Big Inning".
It has no backlit lights as was not a feature of this game. Otherwise very similar to the 63 Major League plastic target.
When I researched what to make I went through all the games that had the target. See the topic linked. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/who-wants-major-league-grand-slam-big-inning-target-plastics
Happy you like it. Still have a few left.

Found this old thread and realize this may be a complete shot in the dark, but Steve, by chance do you (or anyone else out there) still have a plastic for a ‘63 Williams Major League you’re willing to sell? I’m a Pinside newbie trying to breathe new life into my beloved game. Thanks in advance.

If I can get 5 definite requests I will make another batch.
There is a fair investment of materials that I may never get
recompensed if less.

I'll buy one Steve. My son just picked up a '63 missing the plastic and the front rail.
Quoted from alp_ga:Hi Steve,
I'll take one of the Home Run plastics. Mine is warped from a too hot bulb.
That's three now. Need two more and I will get the furnace lit.

I am back in town and will make another batch. Got to keep these games operating.
Need to get materials including overlays made. I will confirm when available but no later than early November.

Steve and all,
The bat lever assembly for my ‘63 Major League was replaced at some point with a big button. Do any of you know of a source for a bat assembly like this (I believe from Steve’s table elsewhere it is part B-5625)? I realize that this is a plastics thread but figured I’d ask here since maybe others are reworking their pitch and bat games as well.
Also—Steve—just re-read your amazing restoration thread on this game from a few years back—wow, thanks for all the work you did to document that so well!

I have a friend that is making me a replacement for my Pinch Hitter Deluxe. Let me know if you or anyone else needs one i can ask him to run extras. Picture is of my bacon melted one and a cardboard printout to test fitness. Finished product will be printed on plastic by my friend who is a pinball fan and owns a large print graphic company.

mmm...crispy. As a prototype is a good start.
It only takes moments so work on the lettering and get the HOME R.. closer using the text software.
May I suggest PETG as a plastic probably 0.060" thick as it has good impact strength.
Lastly look at your game base color and make the white an offwhite to get it closer the game white parts.
Nice addition to the parts we need.
