I updated from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and that made it possible to run the game, although a sound error box would sometimes pop up (but only once) during a session. OKing the box made it go away and it played normally.
Yesterday wine was updated to wine-1.3.29-121-gfdda702 So far, the game plays perfectly.
Here is the terminal output. james@hp-desktop-201009:~$ wine "/home/kids/.wine/dosdevices/c:/hegames/Baseball2001/baseball 2001.exe" fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 32 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 32 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels
