Play Ball was produced by Gremlin in 1972. From flyer: "It's the most versatile, smoothest-action wall game - completely programmable with plug-in serviceability. Pitcher can throw Fast Ball, Curve, Slider or Change Up. Better scores points for Home Run, Triple, Double or Single. A Strike scores a point for the other team. Play Ball has proven to be a true contest of skill and it simulates interest and competition in both players and spectators. "
