Our National Ball Game

An antique baseball game played on a wooden board which depicts a baseball field. The rules and a die rolling chart are also printed on the board. The board is approximately 20x20 inches. The other components include a pair of dice and a set of markers used to represent base runners.

The game is played using a chart which determines the results of each pitch by rolling two six-sided dice. The chart lists each pair of numbers that could be thrown and gives a result for each pairing. The results include a base hit, a "two base hit", "three base hit", getting on base by error, getting on base by balls, one strike, foul out, out at first, fly out, double play, triple play, and home run.
