Baseball Rules Game
Answering questions can help beef up your baseball skills. Next time your team needs a little practice AND a little update on basic rules, try playing the baseball rules game.
What You'll Need:
Instead of swinging the bat for base hits, answer a baseball rule or trivia question instead. There are loads of great trivia books and rule books that you can check out at the public library, so boning up doesn't need to cost a cent.
If you get a question right, go to first base and wait for your teammates to bring you home by answering their questions. Knowing who did what, when, and how, and knowing the rules, can only improve your game.
Backwards Baseball
Three, two, one -- You're out! Backwards baseball is the game you know and love, but in reverse.
What You'll Need:
Baseball, the Great American Pastime, would be a much tougher game if you had to round the bases and toss the balls backward in order to score or get the other player out. Tougher, yes, but also full of laughs.
So the next time you're bored with the traditional game, try this backward twist. You may never look at baseball in quite the same way again.
One word of caution: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU RUN BACKWARD. No game is worth going home injured.
