Here you go.

Blastball is a modified version of baseball, designed to introduce young players (typically ages 3-5) to the fundamentals of the game in a fun and engaging way. It emphasizes skill development and participation over complex rules and scoring, with a focus on keeping the game simple and enjoyable.
Here's a more detailed look at Blastball:
Key Features:
Modified Rules:
Blastball utilizes a simpler game format with fewer rules and no umpires.
Soft Equipment:
Players typically use foam bats and oversized, soft baseballs, reducing the risk of injury.
Parent Involvement:
Blastball games often involve parent participation, with coaches and volunteers assisting with instruction and game play.
Emphasis on Fun:
The game's primary goal is to introduce children to the joys of baseball and foster a positive learning environment.
How it's Played:
Hitting and Running:
Players hit off a tee and run to a single base (the "Blast Base").
"Blast" Call:
When a fielder catches the ball in the air or fields it on the ground, they yell "Blast," which signifies an out.
Winning:
A batter scores a run if they reach the Blast Base before a fielder can catch the ball or yell "Blast".
Limited Outing:
In some leagues, the game may end after a batter hits once around the lineup or when three outs are made.
Safety and Gear:
Soft Equipment: Soft bats and balls minimize the risk of injury.
Gloves and Helmets: Gloves and batting helmets are often optional, but can be used for added safety.
Parent Involvement: Parents are often involved in coaching and assisting with game play, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.

Oh well, I'll make the best of it by stopping at Fesco and AES to photograph what's in for repairs and new deliveries.

If the good Lord got rid of my current body and gave me the body of one of those guys, I would certainly take a tube ride with another dude if that's what he asked.
