If anybody knows the part numbers for the baseball bat and the ball and mitt, or how I can find them, I would very much appreciate it. The pieces are from the add-on Caucasian family set 7983. I've checked PlaymoDB, but they don't have that set, or the discontinued baseball player special, itemized. Thanks so much!

That's because specials and add-ons don't have instructions, so the part numbers are unknown. I'm not sure if these parts were ever in any actual sets, but I'll do some digging and try to find out.

I was thinking they may have been in one of the Christmas sets, but it was the American football.
If nobody comes up with the answer you might try asking the DS Parts department for the parts. If you are emailing a spreadsheet for a parts order you can just include the name of the part and that it is from the 7983 set and they will fill in the number. You can try a phone order if you just want a couple of parts, they can look it up on the computer and tell you if they have it. If they don't then ask for the part number so you can try again later.
This is how I got the part numbers for the 1-2-3 animals for Animobil since 1-2-3 sets don't have instruction sheets.

Oh, that's good to know. I guess they cooperate if you're just asking about a few of them.

emailing a spreadsheet in Excel format is best, even if it's a small one. Mine are never small...

Thanks bb. The pieces were also in the special #5789, but PlaymoDB doesn't have that set completely itemized.

Thanks for the info. Tiermann. I actually tried to order these pieces via the phone today. The person who took my order said he couldn't put it in the system without a part number. I gave him the the add-on set number, and the special number, but he claimed it wasn't enough. Otherwise, he was very polite, patient and helpful.
Maybe I'll order the special on ebay and attempt to get the part number that way.
Thanks again guys!

If anyone finds part numbers I don't have via DS or some other way, let me know! I am backlogged with new things to add but I WILL get to it. I don't have numbers for the baseball items, but if I had them I'd put them in the inventories.
playmodb@gmail.com is where to find me!

Thanks for your helpful sight. It's amazing!
If I ever find these part numbers, I'll be sure to send them your way.

I do not know where mine is but wasn't the mitt and ball magnetic ???

Hmmm, I don't know yet. I hope so, as I was pretty much expecting the mitt and the ball to be one piece. Magnetic would be better! I'm expecting my 7983 (Caucasian family add-on) to arrive any time now. I'll let you know then. I was going to order the baseball player special from ebay, in hopes of getting the part numbers, but I've noticed that unless they include assembly instructions, the specials don't seem to include part numbers. :(

They are magnetic, but the magnets aren't nearly strong enough, and when you turn the glove a certain way, the ball falls right out. On the caucasion add-on, my brother lost the baseball the first hour I had it. When I got the special, I glued the ball into the glove.
Right, I don't know of any specials that have instructions, so no part numbers. :-\
