Game: MVP Baseball
Company: Galoob
Model No.: 5003
Year: 1978
Power: 1 C battery
Notes: The game is basically push-button operated, with doors that close and open to reveal the play results on little tumblers. This is the exact same game as Galoob's Mr. Baseball.
This game came with 4 plastic runners. Smartly, the manufacturer incorporated a storage compartment into the back of the game to hold these runners.
The art on this box is awesome - there is a zombie-wearing-clown-paint pitcher with no eyes and a young Robert Redford with super hairy arms (and also wearing clown paint) making a terrific diving stab.
There are two versions of the game:
Version 1 was manufactured in Japan by Toybox.
