no one keeps score. there are no outs. everyone gets a chance to whack a baseball off the three-foot tee as far as they can. when everyone on the team has had a chance to bat, the inning is over. the last batter and all the kids on base run around the bases to home, and the other team goes up to bat. two innings, and the game is over.

i love it. it’s chaotic, crazy, and utterly joyful.
