Corkball is a "mini-baseball" game featuring a Script error: No such module "convert". ball, which is stitched and resembles a miniature baseball. The bat has a barrel that measures Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter. Originally played on the streets and alleys of St. Louis, Missouri, as early as 1890,[1] today the game has leagues formed around the country as a result of St. Louis servicemen introducing the game to their buddies and comrades during World War II and the Korean War. It has many of the features of baseball, yet can be played in a very small area because there is no base-running.[2]
Game play
Corkball uses a Script error: No such module "convert". ball, which is stitched and resembles a baseball, but is only approximately 30% the mass of a regular baseball. The bat has a barrel that measures up to Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter and a maximum of Script error: No such module "convert". in length. Playing fields are traditionally Script error: No such module "convert". in width and Script error: No such module "convert". in length. Different measurements are paced off to determine hits. A batter must hit the ball at least Script error: No such module "convert". in order to register a hit. Any hit between Script error: No such module "convert". and Script error: No such module "convert". is a single, up to Script error: No such module "convert". is a double, up to Script error: No such module "convert". is a triple and beyond Script error: No such module "convert". is a home run. Measurements can be modified based on available conditions. Baserunning is non existent due to the measured hits. Teams have a minimum of two players (pitcher and catcher) and a maximum of five players on the field at a time. Fielders may wear baseball gloves but are not required to. The catcher must wear a catcher's mask while behind the plate. Pitching rubber and home plate are the same as used in baseball. "Runners" advance as many bases as the batter gets on the hit. If a runner is on first and the batter hits a double, then the resulting runners will be on second and third. If a runner is on first and the batter hits a single, then it will be first and second.
