    ipdb.notes
    This game is known as Jenning's original Sportsman. Unlike all versions that followed, its metal apron shows the name as two words, "The Sportsman". It has square legs attached to the cabinet's corners. According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Volume 2, page 69, this game included a mint vendor on the front to get around anti-gambling laws, but this feature was eliminated when it was discovered that it wasn't needed.
