Baseball is a fun game to play when you want a little more action in a game. It is usually played with six or eight people, but must have equal numbers to make the teams fair. All you need to play is 6 plastic cups, quarters, and a pitcher full of beer. This is best played on a long skinny table that is about waste high.
The game follow the rules of baseball, hence the name. Depending on how much you want to drink you can play anywhere from 3, 6, 9 innings. It is played with four cups in a row at the end of the table. The cup closest to the players has a ¼ cup, second cup ½, third cup ¾, and last cup is full. The last two cups are filled up ¼ and each one is placed on each side of the table in front of each team these cups will come into play with stealing – I will talk about this later.
To start: One team starts shooting first. Each player shoots individually. You have to bounce the quarter off the table into one of the four cups; if you miss it is an out. When a team has three outs their turn is over and it’s up to the other team. Once the second team makes their three outs the first inning is over, and the second inning starts. The first cup indicated a single, second-double, third-triple, and the fourth cup is a home run. If a player hits his single and the next player hits a double there will be runners on second and third. If the next player hits a double, it will score 2 runs and the runner will be on second base. Each team must pay attention to where the runners are, how many runs have scored, and how many outs there are at all times so there is no fighting or confusion. If a team has a runner on base, (at any time) a player on that team can drink the side up and flip the cup over on the other side. If the team on defense flips it over before the offensive team it’s an out, if the offensive team beats the defensive team it is a successful steal. The game is over when the predetermined amount of innings is over, and the team with the most runs, wins.
