Pinball Revival with a Competitive Edge
Wednesday, April 22, 2009 | June Kim
Many of us may remember playing pinball as a kid at the neighborhood bowling alley. But American Observer's June Kim goes to Fairfax, Va., to explore how this classic game is no longer just child's play. In fact, middle-aged men compete in local leagues and tournaments to advance their rankings on the international circuit. As avid collectors of pinball machines, many own on an average 15. They profess there's more to pinball than luck, it's a game of skill requiring hours of practice each week.
