Default Play Ball

The Great American Game by Frantz Garage Hardware, Sterling, Ill. circa 1923
and APBA Baseball since 1951 with 1911 New York Giants Lineup.

Frantz originally made rollers for garage doors as well as this game. They are still in business in Sterling, Ill. and manufacture rollers for manufacturing assembly lines among other products, but not baseball games.

I was introduced to APBA in 1953 (their third year) at the age of 6. The company recently left Lancaster, PA and moved to Georgia. The survival of the company is in doubt, as is mine.
