Default interesting rules

Posted By: Anthony N.

The Vintage Baseball World Series is in Westfield, Mass again this summer. My family is catching one of the days games and it looks to be a lot of fun. Jim Bouton heads it up.
The website is

From the official rules of the day-
7 balls= walk, 3 strikes is out
Batter asks for a high strike zone (belt to shoulders) or a low strike zone (belt to knees)
a batter is not awarded first base when hit by the pitch
no balks, fake throws and quick pitches allowed. There is no mound or rubber, the pitcher has to end his windup within a 4x6 box, 50' from home plate (seems a bit like a cricket bowler)
One umpire, if he doesn't see the play he polls the fans or asks the players.
