Ben,
I am afraid that the disks may have just been for the basic game of dominoes, which has variations in how it's played. I do not believe the Home/Visitor disk was issued with the cigarettes. Just my opinion, but note there is no reference to the brand or factory-or even dominoes. Also, a tabletop game issued around 1916 used the same disks as game pieces. I would venture that this was the source of their creation. I have never seen any instructions of of how dominoes relate to baseball, but I am not a game aficianado. Still, if you and your buddies are bored sitting with a bunch of disks, use your imaginations like the kids of yore and apply it somehow to create a field of dreams.
