This game features really
nice period artwork. Like the very similar Great American Baseball Game
there are a number of different versions of this game out there. The
original was put out by Frantz in the early 20's. A few years later
Hustler Toys took over production and simply took the Franz version as
is and pasted a "Hustler" sticker over the "Fantz" logo on the spinner
housing (the billboard on the left side of the field still bears the
Frantz advertisement). Version 3 was reprinted by Hustler and all
references to Frantz are removed from the board. A reproduction was put
out a few years ago by Shylling Toys. There are no references to Frantz
or Hustler in the Shylling version.
