Talk:Tee-ball

message: I'm not sure how prevalent Tee Ball is in the USA, but it's really taking hold in the northern areas of Sydney, Australia, where I live. And we're not even all that keen on baseball in these parts! Andrewa 13:23, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: Is it all right to use a Tee Ball bat in Baseball? Also, is there a glove in Baseball? (24.87.43.26 14:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Baseball rules typically have restrictions on the maximum size of the bat, but not the minimum.  A Tee Ball bat would probably be legal, but stupid, to use.  A player using such a short, light bat would have difficulty reaching pitches away from the batter or in the corners of the strike zone.  A good fastball would probably shatter a wooden Tee Ball bat on contact.  Gloves are used in every level of baseball, and have been since about 1890.  Schoop 15:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry to be nit-picky, but the history section says that "several" presidents have hosted T-Ball at the white house since Reagan. There have only been three presidents since Reagan, and three doesn't generally constitute "several" (especially considering the fact that if it was all three of them, it should just say "every", and if it wasn't, then it was only one or two). I would fix it but I don't know which is right - have several Presidents hosted it, or did Reagan start the tradition? Kafziel 19:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't want to get political here but what does a picture of bush's family to do with Tee Ball? just wondering... wouldn't it be more useful to include a pic of T-ball in play? --Jamesjiao 03:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe this entry should be changed/updated to reflect the true name of the game: T-ball. As proof, I offer up the Webster's New World College Dictionary (recommended by the Associated Press and Chicago Manual of Style). "T-ball" is in that dictionary whereas "tee ball" is not. Can this be changed? kopper (talk) 20:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The "T" spelling is a trademark of the T-Ball USA Association, and your dictionary is actually wrong on this (the game is played with a tee, not something in the form of a T)  Note that "Tee Ball" capitalized that like is also a trademark. The article as of 2014 clarifies these issues adequately.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  06:39, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: T-ball, not "Tee Ball"

message: The single page cited already as  can be used to add many more game play details and citations for stuff already in the article, as well as (by their absence in that rules page) help identify material that may be unsourceable. Other pages at the site (see the FAQ, etc.) may also be of help in this regard.  I worked on it for a coupler of hours, but eventually had to move on.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  06:37, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

message: After fixing some references and citations i wanted to try to provide some clarification on the trademark. I did manage to find a little info about it being trademarked, but there is nothing officil to provide any real clarification on it. The only thing at all i could find was http://www.worldebooklibrary.com/articles/Dayton_Hobbs and it looks all most copy and pasted and provides nothing that isnt already here

message: "Despite the implication of some of the spellings of the game's name, the tee used in tee-ball is not T-shaped"
This sounds like a joke that got included in the article and never removed. The spelling "T-ball" does not imply that the tee is T-shaped. If anything, it implies that the BALL is T-shaped, but that's absurd too. The idea that the spelling "implies" anything about the shape of the tee is silly. (It would have to be called "T-tee-ball" to do that.) Can anyone point to examples of people seriously thinking the tee is T-shaped based on the spelling? 134.41.94.151 (talk) 04:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
