Читать книгу Montegue Blister’s Strange Games: and other odd things to do with your time - Alan Down - Страница 26

An extremely silly indoor game, but immense fun nonetheless, Drawing Room Baseball brings the great American sport into the living room and provides hours of endless amusement and broken ornaments.

This game is best played with small teams of three or four players (but it does depend on how big your house is). Simply re-arrange some room furnishings (cushions, chairs, etc.) to provide the bases, then replace the baseball bat with a kitchen spatula (either wood or metal) and instead of a baseball use a Ping-Pong ball. This gives the pitcher the opportunity to wind up their throwing arm and pitch the ball as hard as they want without fear of injury. Any damage to the room is not from bat and ball action, but rather the dashes to reach bases and the scrambles for the ball of the fielding team.
