The Ernie Banks Ball 'n Strike
Instructional Batting Game & Record was
distributed by H.B.S. Sales in 1977.
The game came with a hard ball attached
to a 20 foot long-lasting cord that
could be seen through a cellophane
window at the front of the box. After
Ernie banks was elected into the
Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1977, a panel
was added to the front with an
exclamation! of the event. The top of
the box that holds the ball and cord
reads; "GREAT for Little Leaguers high
school and college players! Dad (or
Mom) and the boys can have a ball with
Ernie Banks Ball'nStrike"
The 13 minute, 33⅓ RPM 7" Flexi-Disc
record was produced by Eva-Tone
Soundsheets Inc. Featured on the
recording is "Instructional Batting
Tips From the Chicago Cubs All-Time
Home Run Hitter." There are three recording
tracks, two on side A, and one on side
B. The record sleeve is
attached on the back of the box and the
front pictures Ernie Banks with the
record partially showing through a die
cut window. Below reads; "Listen to

Game!" * Tested By Big League Hitters
