Slugger

Manufacturer: Bally Manufacturing Corporation (1931-1983) [Trade Name: Bally]

About This Machine

Slugger is an early Bally pinball machine designed by Milton N. Tigerman, dated circa 1934-35 based on its reference in EOP2 (an early pinball reference source). As a mid-1930s Bally title, it comes from a formative period for the company and the industry as a whole, when pinball design was rapidly evolving.

Detailed information about Slugger's gameplay, artwork, and theme has not survived, which is common for games from this early era of pinball. Its baseball-suggestive name points to a sports theme, in keeping with the popularity of baseball-themed games during the period, though this cannot be confirmed from available records.

With limited documentation available, Slugger remains a machine of interest primarily for its place in Bally's early catalog and its connection to designer Milton N. Tigerman, rather than for well-documented gameplay specifics.
