The assumption that the game was marketed for kids is also off base. Many simple tabletop baseball games were indeed meant
for children, but period advertisements for numbers like National-American were placed not in child-oriented publications
but in Baseball Magazine, The Sporting News, and other periodicals aimed at adults, and often showed the game being played
by well-dressed adult men as if at some gentlemen's club.
