A new "fast, youth-oriented, easy to learn and urban" version of baseball :lol:

 

 

 

"Only a rubber ball is needed for the street sport which is said to bring baseball to previously inaccessible areas.

Any playing surface can be utilised and no pitcher is needed as hitting is done by hand."

 

Baseball without a bat. Brilliant. :lol:

Next will be swimming without water.

 

 

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

Hitting by hand, this is starting to sound like kaatsen,  a local but big sport in the somewhat odd Dutch province of Friesland (which nobody else knows anything about, hitting by hand and the fact that the big competition is called the PC is basically all I know :p )

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Well, no, not really :rolleyes:. There are similar games in other european regions (Wallonia, northen France, Valencia region...). There is even a world championship and an international game that mixes the differents disciplines. All of them and more (basque pelota, tambourin/tamburello... and, well, tennis) are sharing the same roots.

 

None of them looks anything like this new baseball game though :p
