To me, townball is totally different. In Minnesota and Wisconsin, townball, to me, means a group of guys getting together to play the regular game of baseball at their town's baseball diamond. The townball teams I watched in Wisconsin used wooden bats, but beyond that the game was played like...

Not really. If in garbage time the margin drops below 35 in the second half, the running clock is gone. And then you get to watch scrubs stop the clock on incomplete passes. Or the sixth circle of heck.

I'm hopeful our club gets a chance to come down and do that next summer. That would be so much fun. I played for the first time this past summer on our local club and had a good time. I did it partly to help my son have fun and not be so serious with his youth baseball and in part because of...
