ROSTERS

Stats!!!

The image above represents one of the playing fields. This field is located at John Hancock. The other playing field is at South Middle School. Played on an regulation sized basketball court, the possible outcomes will be...single, double, and homerun, no triples unfortunately (Except when played at South, South has triples). A homerun is anything obviously over the fence, however, a ball struck to left field that hits the grass in the air, also a homerun. A single is any line drive or groundball that gets past a fielder. A double is a ball that strikes the fence in the air...or reaches the grass in left field on one bounce.

The rules are as follows:

Three strikes, seven balls

Two outs per inning

Three Inning games

27 game season

There shall be no doctoring of equipment in any way, if any foul play is found, immediate suspension, the severity of the suspension will be determined at a later date.

Tape on the bat, must not exceed the height of the handle, tape on the barrel is strictly prohibited

Strike zone is obviously the chair, LEGS ARE STRIKES

To get an out, you must catch the ball before its motion has stopped. Also once a ball is by a fielder it is still an out if the fielder can reach the ball before it has struck the fence, or its motion has stopped. For example, if a ball is hit to left field and goes by the opposing player, if the player can grab the ball, CLEANLY before it reaches the grass, it is an out.

Playoffs consist of the top team from each division and two wildcard

Hopefully we can get twelve full teams, therefore there will be 2 leagues, the American And National. These Leagues will be broken up into 2 divisions with 3 teams each. Each division winner gets a bye in the playoffs. The second place team in each division, represents the wildcard. The Wildcard round is a one game series. The second round will be a 3 game series. The Championship series will also be a 3 games series. And the World Series will be a 5 game series

The Awards are as follows

Joseph Madden Award (Equivalent to Cy Young)

Brian Schonfeld Trophy (Most Improved Player)

Joseph Burbank Award (Gold Glove)

Gaybus Cup (Goes to the winner of the World Series)

Big Stick Award (Batting title award)
