This game, manufactured by the Philadelphia Game Company, is widely recognized as the most impressive of all early twentieth-century board games. The cover features individual cameo portraits of the top stars of the day, including Baker, Cobb, Lajoie, Walsh, Speaker, Johnson, Mathewson, Chance, and Wagner. The game (19.25 x 13.25 x 2.75 inches) consists of a beautifully finished wood frame with a sturdy cardboard cover and back. The hinged top opens up to reveal an attractive illustration of a baseball diamond and grandstand filled to capacity, while the interior bottom portion features a large metal spinner which dictates the game action when spun. The interior game boards display moderate wear. There is minor separation along the end seams to the wooden top. EX condition overall.
