Talkin' BaseBall Pinball machines

[bbcard1]

We still have at the Williams machines when we make it to Myrtle Beach...one of the arcades has a whole wall of them. Make to to 27 runs and you get a prize...I have won once or twice, but last summer I made it to 26 runs with one out and promptly hit two outs...good times.

My cousin lives in Myrtle Beach. I will certainly check out that arcade when we are visiting them. Thanks for your info.

I'm late to the party, but thought I would add my Williams pinball machine, or at least the part that's not covered by piles of other baseball stuff.

A nice variety of BB pinball machines on display here.

Thanks for showing them....and, let's see, or hear, some more about these electro-mechanical creations that have given us so much pleasure.

---that machine you have is a BEAUTY! Thanks for showing it! The others bring back memories too!

Having been born & raised in a couple of small country towns in WNY, pinball machines were not something I had seen much of growing up.

In the early '50's I went on vacation thru the midwest w/ my parents & we spent a few days in St Louis, staying at a real nice downtown hotel.

While looking around the lobby area I spotted a big ole' Williams Baseball machine! I was hooked!

Every nickel I could conjure from my parents I spent on that machine--every free moment I had I was there in the lobby trying to knock those little silver balls up the ramps & into the stands--it was the highlight of my visit to St Louis!

Not mine but what the heck, it sort of belongs in this thread. That is Harry Coveleski in the pic.

Lovely Day...

Great photo....my guess is circa 1940's.

Now, what's your guess.......

What record did brothers Harry and Stan Coveleski make BB history with ?
