Interesting cabinet so I thought I would share.

I like it...maybe someone out there will recognize the building. This is the only game action cabinet I have. Yours looks earlier than mine (I think the catcher in mine has a mask on and the whole "feel" is both later and of a more organized game...maybe college?).

Nice cabinets. It looks like the people in Leon's cabinet are looking at the photographer. This was not usually the case in these early game action images.

Thanks. Is it just me or is that guy at a very, very short shortstop (or 3rd) about to get clobbered?

Only see 8 fielders, 1 must be hidden behind the tree.

That looks like a mile from first base to second base

I don't want to restart that whole semantics discussion about what "game action" means. I would certainly call Leon's cabinet game action. But I would say that at the time of the photo, the action of the game has stopped and the players are posed, which would be why they are looking at the photographer, and why they may not be in the positions they would be in while playing the game.
