Thursday, January 12, 1995 : Mini-baseball Game with Simplified Rules
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
I played a simplified-rules mini-baseball game with three of my friends during lunch break at school.
A pitcher throws a ball and a batter hits it. After an outfielder picks up the ball and throws it to home plate, the pitcher waits for the ball to come in by stepping on the base.
If the pitcher can catch the returning ball from the outfielder without moving their foot off the base, the batter is out.
If the pitcher can't, the batter scores. This rule is very practical because we can play baseball with at least three people.
On my way home from school, I stopped at the bookstore near my house and browsed through Famitsu (a Japanese video game magazine).
