I played kickball in gym last week, good fun.

you're cute

Well, this is a National League. I play in two local leagues, but the organization is in something like 38 states. (I've never actually counted). Since we're now adults playing, we've adapted some of the rules to make it more competitive.

* Strike Zone is now a foot in either directions of the plate and a foot high.

This allows for pitchers to have "strikes" come in from the outter zones, hops, bounces, and spins. It means that pitchers aren't a dead position, but it also cuts the wheat from the chaff with regard to batters.

*Foul Outs

4 fouls and you're out, we've got work to do here.

*Drinking

As an adult, we do slightly more drinking than we did in our playground days. But since the league, parents on the adjacent playground, and roving city cops all have issue with this, the other fun function is getting away with it. Some folks cheap out and go Vodka in a Nalgene, but the real artists go for sangria in a Gatorade bottle.

*Clean-up rules

No leading, no double touch when kicking, only kicking from inside the Box (you can't charge the pitch), infield fly rule not in effect (I think this is an oversight), and bee-stinging is still allowed.*

*a hit in the face =/= out though we sometimes take the advanced runner just to smash someone in the face. Keep in mind we're drunk so its less painful, and way more funny than it sounds.

^Sounds great. Me and some peeps from work are going to join a kickball league in October.

through WAKA? Its a hell of a time. Its probably the best networking thing I've found in awhile. When the recession hit big, we were able to get people who were laid off at least part-time work at other companies through other players in the league. Worth every penny.

I don't know who it's through. One of the guys at work is organizing it...and since October is a bit away I haven't bothered to read up on it. I guess he used to be in it though, and had nothing but awesome stuff to say. Especially about the drankin'.

don't even ask because I don't even know.

Might need to buy some Head N Shoulders bud. :laughing:

This is brilliant. Can you upload pics from Facebook, I have quite a bit of material that could be contributed.

In the midst of an epic nerf battle, I look like a man.
I'm not the prettiest one around and I never was
