About This Machine
Console Baseball, manufactured by Genco Manufacturing Company starting in May 1950, is not a pinball machine. It is a baseball-themed electromechanical game, one of several sports-themed non-pinball titles Genco produced around this time; a handwritten list compiled by designer Steve Kordek grouped it with other 1950 games separate from the company's pinball line.
Genco documentation from October 1950 records roughly 89 units produced (an approximate figure), with 12 still in inventory at that time and no confirmed end date for production.
Beyond its baseball theme and approximate production figures, specific details of Console Baseball's gameplay, artwork, and design have not survived in the historical record.
