Insert Batteries
Turn game upside down. Press down where shown and slide cover
off. Insert three “AA” batteries (alkaline type batteries will last
longer). Battery positions are indicated inside the battery box.
Control Buttons
A. On/Off - Turn game on or off.
B. Auto/Manual - Two players or one. Play against an opponent
who selects type and speed of pitch (manual) or play against
a “computer pitcher” which throws random pitches.
(Automatic).
C. Change Side - After three outs, the score for the half inning
will flash on and off. Note score. To reset the game and allow
the other team to take their turn at bat, the change side
button must be pushed.
D. Remote Control Pitching
A major feature of the Entex Electronics All Star Baseball game
is the remote control pitching. Your opponent can snap the
module out by pulling straight away from the main unit. The
cord allows the “pitcher” to select pitches without the “batter”
seeing what he is doing. This really livens up the action.
(Press under the module and pull to remove).
Pitching controls are:
1) Fast Ball - Pitch starts out and continues with a fast
delivery.
2) Change Up - Slow delivery.
3) Curve Ball - Slow delivery will curve to the left at the last
second.
4) Slider - Slow delivery will curve to the right at
the last second.

5) Knuckle Ball - As in real baseball where a knuckle ball
gives a crazy action to the ball the knuckle ball button
changes the action in'the nnicldle of the delivery.
Push the knuckle ball button. The ball will start out
slowly, then suddenly speeds up. This can often
take the batter by surprise.
Note: The ball begins delivery as soon as one of the five
pitch buttons is depressed. Fast balls, knuckle balls and
change ups will always be strikes. Curves and sliders can
result in either strikes or balls-determined randomly by
the computer.
E. Batter
When a pitch is delivered, either by your opponent (manual) or
by the computer (auto) the object is to “hit” the ball. This is
done by depressing the “batter” button at just the right time.
Hitting too soon or too late will result in a strike. You can also
“take a chance” on it being either a strike or a ball.
Practice will enable you to “swing” at just the right time to hit
the ball. The computer then decides what happens. You can
get a single, a double, a triple, or home run; or you can ground
out or fly out to any of the fielding positions.
You can develop skill in batting as in real baseball an early
swingwill tend to direct the ball to left field and a late to the
right.
Electronic Sound/Lights
A. Digital scoring shows the number of runs scored during any
half-inning. Be sure to mark it down before changing sides.
B. Count - Shows number of strikes, balls, and outs.
C. Position of base runners are indicated by L.E.D. lit on 1st,
2nd, or 3rd.

for strikes, balls, outs, even hits all sound different. Game
can be played entirely by sound if desired. Even sightless
people can play.

Instructions For Scorekeeping
1. Enter player names. Use fictional names or enter your
favorite big league stars.
2. Enter position numbers. 1-pitcher, 2-catcher, 3-1 st base,
4-2nd base, 5-3rd base, 6-shortstop, 7-left field, 8-center field,
9-right field.
3. General Guidelines for Scoring:
a) Outs are scored as 1 , 2 ,or3 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd outs.
After 3rd out, draw dark line under last man at bat.
b) Runners are tracked by darkening base paths as follows:
man on 1st, man on 2nd,
^ man on 3rd, ^ man scored.
As a runner proceeds around bases, continue to
darken paths, recording his progress. His initial hit
will be recorded separately, and the diamond follows
his progress. Thus, the following records Player A:
A singles
B singles, A goes to 2nd
C walks, A goes to 3rd
D singles, A scores
OI
he <>|
rri~^
Note the 1B stays the same, recording A’s original single.
The only change occurs in recording his progress.

c) Outs
1) Strike out: Recorded as “K”
Example: | ^ — Struck out, 1st out
2) Fly out to outfielder: Record as “F” with position
number of outfielder catching the ball.
Example: FfO 7\l “Filed out to right field,
2nd out
3) Ground out in the infield: Record as “G” with
position number of infielder making the play.
Example: | qq —Groundouttoshortstop,
L_ ^— SZI 3rd out
d) Getting on base is accomplished in one of five ways:
1) Base on balls (walk) — Record as “BB”
2) Single- Record as “1 B”
3) Double — Record as “2B”
4) Triple — Record as “3B”
5) Home Run — Record as “HR”
