Sports Excitement Yes!

There is a time for build-up, for laying the foundation for the dramatic arc. There is a time for rhapsodizing, for setting to thunderous poetry the miracles of this life. And there is a time stand in quiet, humble, human reverence as the marvels unfold. This is one of those times …

And now let us weep.

I like how the manual has a strictly observed box defining where writing and pictures can and can’t go, but the manual is willing to make an exception to use a satisfactorily large picture of how to put the battery in.

A few weeks ago, I bought a near mint unit of the Entex Electronic Baseball for $1 complete with the box, manual, and scoresheets (and 3 AAA batteries!). It’s pretty amusing to play given what’s come along since then. I think I must have had either their Electronic Baseball 2 or 3 as a wee lad (I remember having a steal option). Interesting that the Entex game manuals actually explain how to score a game in a scorebook.

page 14 – sounds section

Out – “plop” (declining in pitch)

Gammons must love him some handheld mattel baseball.
