Description: Texas Leaguer, Keeney, 6/40, countertop game or floor model (if it has the original stand). Essentially the first ramp style baseball game (seemingly pre-dates the 1941 Scientific Batting Practic by a month or so.) Smaller version of the later 1958 Keeney League Leader baseball game and the 1965 Irving Kaye Batting Practice.

A small 3/8" ball bearing rolls down an incline and flys through the air. Player must try and bat the ball. Difficult to do (because the ball is so small), a very challenging game. Scoring is pretty unique. If a ball is batted into a backboard run pocket, the ball is routed to the lower right scoring panel. Player must add up the number of balls to get their score. For example, two balls in the "5" scoring panel means 10 runs total. For a coin, 15 (or 18) balls are pitched automatically.

The game was inintially released in 1940, but was also made in 1941, with some modifications. Lights were added to the front sides of the game, making the playfield easier to see in dim locations. Also the ball count was changeable to 18 balls instead of 15 balls.
