Sure to thrill even the most diehard baseball fan, Ballpark Classics is the most realistic tabletop baseball game every made. From its turf-like felt playing field to the scoreboard overlooking the diamond, Ballpark Classics goes the extra mile, creating a masterful game that combines timeless baseball strategy with foosball-like action. Now the company invites Red Sox fans to re-create their favorite BoSox memories with this Fenway Park version of Ballpark Classics. A detailed and accurate model of Fenway, the game is a favorite of Sox fans who want their own home-field advantage.

The replica mimics actual Fenway Park dimensions and designs. As any baseball fan will acknowledge, the game starts with pitching: Player one begins by dropping a steel baseball into the pitching pipe, and then squeezes it with his or her thumb or fingers. By changing your finger placement and adjusting the force, you can throw fastballs, curves, changeups, sliders, and even create your own pitches. It's easy to do but challenging to perfect--just like real baseball. Batting, on the other hand, is all about timing, bat speed, and getting inside the pitcher's head. Swing on time and you'll find yourself rounding the bases. Swing over the ball and you'll head back to the dugout. The game is so realistic that you can even get called out on a check swing.

It's the authentic Fenway setting that takes the game to the next level, however. The body is made of fine, precisely crafted hardwoods, with a nonwoven fabric playing field that looks just like the turf at your favorite ballpark. The scale is just as authentic, with a design that mimics the actual Fenway Park dimensions, with true-to-life field dimensions (1 inch = 18 feet), true-to-life outfield fence heights and shapes (1 inch = 10 feet), and genuine stadium distance markers, scoreboards, and logos. And, of course, the park includes the classic Green Monster towering over left field. The field is even mowed in the same pattern as the real Fenway Park, and includes an emblazoned Red Sox logo in short center field.

The game itself is precision-engineered to use gravity, physics, and friction to create an amazing baseball experience that needs no batteries or electricity. Pitching, hitting, walks, strikeouts, home runs, and situational strategies--it's all there except for the smell of freshly mowed grass. Playable alone, head to head, or with teams, each Ballpark Classics game takes about 30 minutes for a full nine. Whether you're a baseball purist, a casual fan, or a serious gamer, Ballpark Classics is a terrific choice. The game, which is officially licensed by Major League Baseball, comes with 30-plus MLB mini felt pennants for stadium customization. The game measures 34 by 7 by 30 inches (W x H x D) and requires some assembly.
