Tap Ball Prize Guide: Act 1, Prize 3 Baseball Jasper

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Are you ready for some Tap Ball!? Tap Ball is the newest sensation sweeping the streets of Springfield.  A game invented by our very own Homer J Simpson!  In the First “Act” of the Tap Ball Event (funny they’re called Acts, really they should be called Periods like Hockey.  Oh EA, it thought you knew sports 😉 ) you’ll unlock Referee Homer, Soccer Lisa, Pin Pal Apu, Build a Stadium (with a little help from Duff, the Kwik-E-Mart, Costington’s and Stupid Flanders) and challenge your friends and neighbors to some friendly Tap Ball competitions!

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts (again, should be called Periods EA…), with each Act containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the First Act you’re tasked with collecting Foam Fingers () to unlock each prize!  The Third Act 1 prize awarded at 11,300  is Baseball Jasper, a new costume for Jasper (a premium character) to wear in Springfield!

So let’s take a closer look at this “league of their own” star and find out just who’s Lou (the bus driver) just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield. 

Once you’ve collected 11,300  you’ll automatically be awarded Baseball Jasper and you’ll see this message popup:

Now…if you DON’T have Jasper (ie if you didn’t spend the donuts to buy him) this costume will remain locked in your inventory until you purchase Jasper.  You cannot use Baseball Jasper unless you already own Jasper.

If you already have Jasper you’ll automatically unlock this costume and Jasper will become Baseball Jasper..

And Baseball Jasper is part of the Sporty Oldies Character collection:

If you own Jasper, you can immediately start using him to play Tap Ball.  You’ll find him on your roster of players when you start a new game.

Jasper also comes with a full questline.  Here’s the Turbo Tappin’ Version (we’ll cover the full dialogue as the event winds down)…
