Most today will answer Dan Okrent or Glen Waggoner, but let me propose Francis C. Sebring, the inventor of the table game of Parlor Base-Ball. In the mid-1860s Sebring was the pitcher (clubs only needed one back then) for the Empire Base Ball Club of New York (and bowler for the Manhattan Cricket Club). At some time around the conclusion of the Civil War, this enterprising resident of Hoboken was riding the ferry to visit an ailing teammate in New York. The idea of making an indoor toy version of baseball came to him during this trip, and over the next year he designed his mechanical table game; sporting papers of 1867 carried ads for his “Parlor Base-Ball” and the December 8, 1866, issue of <em>Leslie’s</em> <em>Illustrated Weekly</em> carried a woodcut of young and old alike playing the game. A few weeks earlier, on November 24, <em>Wilkes' Spirit of the Times </em>had carried the first notice. </span></p></br><p><span> </span></p></br><table class="stats"></br><tbody></br><tr></br><td></br><p>The game had spring-loaded mechanisms for delivering a one-cent piece from a pitcher to a batter and by a batter into a field with cavities: "a pinball machine is not very different," John observes.</p></br></td></br></tr></br></tbody></br></table></br><p><span> </span></p>lt;/p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><span> </span></p>)
