We also played Butts Up. Basically you threw a tennis ball against a wall and who ever it bounced toward had to field it. No gloves. If the first person to touch the ball bobbled it at all or had the ball hit them, they had to drop the ball and sprint to the wall and touch it. If anyone else picked the ball up and threw it against the wall before the other guy touched it, it was an out. 3 outs and you had to stand against the wall, facing it and everyone got one throw at hitting you in the ass. Usually we'd say you couldn't throw it as hard as possible, but it was pretty fun to throw it hard and just miss them to scare them a little bit.

Heck, sometimes we would play first base, and instead of touching it peg the kid coming down the line if tensions were running high.

We liked those dimensions so much, we went out in an open field and laid out a ball field with the same dimensions with a 4' fence around the out field, but we hardly ever used it - it just wasn't the same fun game as with all the obstacles!
