Includes position pieces, player pieces with the names of the N.Y. Giants and Philadelphia A's, an 18 x 18" metal board/spinner, AL and NL team rosters, and photo of the 1914 "Miracle" Boston Braves. The other is The Great American Game (made by Frantz), complete and in original box and spin-drum metal board, 20 Giants and A's tokens and scoresheet pad. There are also three (3) Ethan Allen All-Star Baseball Games, two in the "blue" version from the 1st year the game was made (1941) and 1 "red" ("Special Edition with All-Time All-Stars"), with spinner boards and dozens of disk cards with players' names. All games are in used condition but they display very nicely.
