What about a new sub-forum for Baseball games?
How do people suggest something like this?

I just thought it would be cool since this theme usually isn't talked about much. It was a pitch and bat game that got me hooked as a kid growing up in Chicago. After all these years when I wanted to get back into pinball THAT was the game I searched for and found. I now have a 1966 Williams Pitch and Bat and a 1968 Williams Ball Park. My Pitch and bat was my first complete restoration. I made a repro backglass, custom grandstands that line the inside of the cabinet, repro targets as well as coin door stickers. I made my own stencils and repainted changing the gross green to a more "grass-like" color green. I recently found the Ball Park. The general look needs serious help, but I really like the ability of hitting the ball out of the park so I will be selling the 66' and restore the Ball Park and put it in the gameroom. I am thinking of creating a custom Chicago White Sox -vs- Flubs. Yes, I am from the South side. Anyway. I think it will be a cool unique addition.
It would be nice to also be able to add the pictures of the backglasses to your "collection" neither of my games are available to add here. Why is that?
There was one local a few months ago pretty cheap. They seem to pop up frequently here in AZ. Maybe because spring training here is popular.
@jdawg4422 -I sold my restored 1966 Pitch and bat a few weeks ago. I had it on ebay and CL. I also have an unrestored 1968 Ballpark, however I am going to make a custom Whitesox vs Flubs game out of it so I am keeping it. If you ever want to check it out come on out to San Tan Valley. Its always cool meeting other local pinheads. The pitch and bat game was my first introduction into "pinball" even though this wonderful site doesn't consider it a pinball. IMHO I would include the baseball games, but we have gone there earlier. Maybe they will change.
