Wondering if any one has ever seen or played this 20" by 20" masonite baseball board game. I got it at an antique store years ago. Its called Autograph Baseball Game, copyright FJ Raff, 1948. Its a great display item. It has about forty fax signatures of stars of the forties along the sidelines, mostly non HOFers. A couple of my favorite autographs are Early Wynn, Hal Peck and Dale Mitchell, members of the 1948 World Champion Indians. Anyone have any ideas how the game might have been played?

I've never seen one but it's definitely a cool item. I think it would look good framed.

There is a 1" deep wooden border around the perimeter of the 20"by 20" masonite board; therefore, not lending itself to being framed. With a little small wire and a couple of staples I jury-rigged a way to hang it on a wall. Great display item! Looking for ideas as to how it was played.

game came with 2 sets of players in grey and white, home andaway, a bat and a ball. You played it just like a regular game hitting the ball and seeing where it landed etc and moved the players as such
