Lunchbox

This was one of my favorite lunchboxes when I was a kid. This is probably around 1971, fourth grade. It came with a diamond on the back, magnetic baserunner markers, and a spinner, a la All-Star Baseball. Probably the first baseball simulation I ever played, with friends after a PBJ and two-cent milk in the school cafeteria in Titusville.

Just noticed that the positioning of the infielders on the diamond is dumb. They’ve got a shift on for a righty, but the batter bats lefty. Must’ve slipped past their fact checkers!
