David BowdenI remember playing what seemed for hours on a baseball pinball machine on a trip to San Diego as a child in the late 70's. Looking at the above posts it MIGHT have been the Midway Slugger game. Not sure, I have a hard time remembering yesterday much less 25+ years ago. The best part of the trip was that on the last day, having breakfast, my mom said to look over at the next table. I did and it was Muhammad Ali. He was sitting with 3 other people. My sister and I took the napkins from the table and went over to ask for his autograph. He was such a pleasant person. He signed for us and then ask me if I wanted to box and put up his fist. That was the most scared I had been up to that point in my life. I have since lost the napkin but will never forgetting meeting the greatest before his decline. Also will always link playing the old baseball pinball games with meeting the Champ.
