Baffle Ball is a pinball machine created on October 6, 1931 by David Gottlieb, founder of the Gottlieb amusement company, in collaboration with John H. Keeney of Keeney & Sons. Unlike modern pinball machines, Baffle Ball lacks flippers, relying instead on a mechanical playfield design inspired by parlor bagatelle games.
