Abstract:
1. A method of playing a baseball-like game device comprising the steps of obtaining the baseball-like game device comprising: picking out a first person to be a batter player; designating a second person to be a pitcher player; choosing a first location, the first location is where the batter player is to stand while playing the game device; selecting a second location about ten feet away from the first location, the second location is where the pitcher player is to stand while playing the game device; laying down the “single” marker strip behind the second location relative to the first and second locations so that a center of the laid down “single” marker strip is substantially in line with the first and second locations and so that the laid down “single” marker strip is laid out substantially perpendicular to a line defined by the first and second locations; placing down the “double” marker strip behind the laid down “single” marker strip relative to the first and second locations so that a center of the placed down “double” marker strip is substantially in line with the first and second locations and so that the placed down “double” marker strip is placed down substantially perpendicular to the line defined by the first and second locations, wherein the placed down “double” marker strip is substantially parallel to the laid down “single” marker strip; setting down the “triple” marker strip behind the placed down “double” marker strip relative to the first and second locations so that a center of the set down “triple” marker strip is substantially in line with the first and second locations and so that the set down “triple” marker strip is set down substantially perpendicular to the line defined by the first and second locations, wherein the set down “triple” marker strip is substantially parallel to the placed down “double” marker strip; reposing down the “home run” marker strip behind the set down “triple” marker strip relative to the first and second locations so that a center of the reposed down “home run” marker strip is substantially in line with the first and second locations and so that the reposed down “home run” marker strip is reposed down substantially perpendicular to the line defined by the first and second locations, wherein the reposed down “home run” marker strip is substantially parallel to the set down “triple” marker strip; standing onto the first location, said standing step performed by the batter player; stepping onto the second location, said stepping step performed by the pitcher player; grasping onto the bat, said grasping step performed by the batter player; gripping onto the cork, said gripping step performed by the pitcher player; throwing the cork towards the batter player, said throwing step performed by the pitcher player; and attempting to hit the thrown cork with the bat, said attempting step performed by the batter player.
