Stickball
A.K.A "Hit the Bat" or "Cherry"
"CHERRY" (I have no idea why) and the rules are quite simple.The game is played with a baseball bat and ball (usually a tennis ball so we didn'tbreak any windows). There are no teams, just one person up to bat and everyone else in the outfield. The person with the bat tosses the ballup and hits it. He/she then places the bat on the ground in front of him/her.The person who gets the ball rolls it at the bat from the place wherethe ball was picked up. When and if the ball hits the bat it pops up intothe air. If the batter does not catch the ball, the person who rolled itis then up to bat. If someone in the field catches a hit before it touchesthe ground, they are automatically up to bat.
