·         Pinball machines were routinely confiscated and destroyed after they were banned.

Pinball was banned in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City for decades and . . . wait, what?

I didn't have a clue about pinball's prohibition until I interviewed Roger Sharpe for this week's Reader cover story. He's the man who helped overturn the 35-year old ban in New York City with his Babe Ruthian "called shot."

 

 

 

The pinball article above is much longer and quiet nice`

 

It is my belief that this photo is truly from the 1950s and was posted with another article in the Sun Times back then`

 

I will work to find it for us`
