All Star Baseball

All Star Baseball, manufactured by Williams Manufacturing Company in February 1954, is a six-player electro-mechanical pinball machine built around a baseball theme, with artwork by George Molentin. It is notable for its three unpainted metal ramps, a relatively novel feature for pinball at the time, which let players guide the ball into scoring opportunities in a more dynamic way than earlier flat-playfield designs.

Supporting six players was itself an ambitious design choice for 1954, requiring the mechanical backbox animation and scoring hardware to track multiple players' progress through an inning-based baseball structure. The gameplay rewards precise ramp shots alongside standard flipper play typical of mid-1950s EM machines.

Beyond the ramps, player count, and artist credit, little further documentation of the machine's specific mechanics or reception has survived, which is common for games of this era. Its combination of an ambitious player count and early ramp shots make it a notable design from Williams' 1950s baseball lineup.
