The Pecan Park Eagle

my actual 1st baseball book; a replica of my 1st pinball baseball game; and a copy of my 1st baseball glove. After about 50,000 reps on the pinball game, you can get pretty good at pulls that move the little silver ball to the hard-to-reach HR slot.

Thanks to an e-mail from friend Darrell Pittman, here’s a formula for a super simple baseball game. All you need are the rules, a pair of dice (preferably of different colors or sizes), and a pencil and paper for scoring the action. If you are playing the game with your kid, or just playing the game with another adult who still thinks like a kid, it may help to have 9 or 18 little knick-knack or toy items to stand in rows as your starting lineups.

Everything else is easy to understand, based on the rules created by the game’s unidentified owner. Just click below and let the fun begin.

Thanks, Darrell. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but I will. When I was a kid, we made up all kinds of simple board games and some of us then graduated to pinball wizardry before moving on to the complex formula dice and stat card games of APBA, Strat-O-Matic, and others,

Looks like a fun way to introduce your kid to a game of baseball in which no batter ever gets dusted by a Bob Gibson wannabe. Sometimes we have to sacrifice a little reality for the sake of simple fun.
