Champion Baseball

Champion Baseball, manufactured by Genco Manufacturing Company of Chicago in July 1955, is a two-player electro-mechanical baseball-themed bat game that continues a long tradition of sports-themed EM releases from the manufacturer.

Gameplay on Champion Baseball features a match bonus and a maximum score display of 999 points per player, adding an element of strategy to the classic electromechanical gameplay. The backglass showcases light animation of players running the bases, emphasizing the sports theme throughout play.
