(For example: Advance 1 base on a Single, 2 bases on a Double, 3 bases on a Triple.) • Average Base Runners (Blue): Average Base Runners advance the number of bases equal to the hit (same as Slow runners). However, an Average Base Runner on second base (scoring position) will score on a Single. • Fast Base Runners (Red): Fast Base Runners always advance 1 more base than the Hit (For example: Advance 2 bases on a single, 3 bases on a double) Only 1 Base Runner can occupy a base and Base Runners cannot pass one another. Base Runners may not be able to advance their full number of bases because of a slower runner in front of them. 3 Object of the game Baseball Highlights 2045 is played as a series of 4 to 7 minute mini-games (see page 9-11 for modes of play). In a mini-game, each players draws and plays a six-card line-up drawn from his 15-card roster of active players. At the end of the mini-game, a winner is determined, new players are bought from the Buy Row and players from the mini-game are sent to the Minor Leagues to maintain a 15- card roster of players. The player who wins the most mini-games in the pre-determined series is the overall winner. Game Set Up Players first agree on a game mode (see page 9). We will assume here a standard 2-player game in the rules. • Each player takes a Player Stadium Mat and chooses the front (right-handed) or back (left-handed) side to use. Each player also selects a Starting Team Deck of 15 players as well as a set of Runs Scored and Games Won Markers. Place the Run and Score Markers on their tracks at “0”. They will be used to track Runs Scored and Games Won during the game. • Determine the first Home Team player randomly (Perhaps the last person to have hit a home run!) The Home Team Player places his Pennant marker Home side up on the space provided on the player’s Stadium Mat and the other player places his Pennant marker Visitor side up. As the Home team changes during the series players will flip the Pennant markers to the reverse side. • Each player shuffles their starting team and places the deck face down on the Line Up space (draw deck) on their Player Stadium Mat. Cards are drawn from there and placed Free Agent Deck & 6 card Buy Row & Player 1 in the hand. Player Stadium Mats ◆ Each player draws the top 6 cards from their deck into their hand. These cards represent their team for the entire mini-game. (The only other cards that will enter the game will be from selecting an On Deck player and from Pinch Hitting.) ◆ As played, cards are stacked face up on the In Play space. ◆ Discards from Pinch Hitting are placed in the Dugout Space (discard pile). • Shuffle the 60-card Free Agent deck and put 6 players face up in a BUY ROW to the side so that both players can easily see them. • Keep the red, white and blue wood pawns for tracking Batters and Base Runners within easy reach of each player. ◆ During the game the White, Blue and Red pawns are used to place Batters at Home Plate and then promote them to Base Runners due to successful Hits. Player 2 4 Pre Mini-Game Set Up Learning how to use the On Deck Circle is a key factor in Before each Mini-game do the following: separating the Major League Stars from the Rookies. • Any purchased Free Agents and any unused On Selecting the card to put On Deck card should be placed on top of your draw Deck is a very important part deck.

  • Guide to Softball Rules and Basics
    Guide to Softball Rules and Basics History Softball was created by George Hancock in Chicago in 1887. The game originated as an indoor variation of baseball and was eventually converted to an outdoor game. The popularity of softball has grown considerably, both at the recreational and competitive levels. In fact, not only is women’s fast pitch softball a popular high school and college sport, it was recognized as an Olympic sport in 1996. Object of the Game To score more runs than the opposing team. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Offense & Defense The primary objective of the offense is to score runs and avoid outs. The primary objective of the defense is to prevent runs and create outs. Offensive strategy A run is scored every time a base runner touches all four bases, in the sequence of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and home. To score a run, a batter must hit the ball into play and then run to circle the bases, counterclockwise. On offense, each time a player is at-bat, she attempts to get on base via hit or walk. A hit occurs when she hits the ball into the field of play and reaches 1st base before the defense throws the ball to the base, or gets an extra base (2nd, 3rd, or home) before being tagged out. A walk occurs when the pitcher throws four balls. It is rare that a hitter can round all the bases during her own at-bat; therefore, her strategy is often to get “on base” and advance during the next at-bat.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2
