Catch the ball before it hits the ground | |
Fail to catch a ball | |
The costumes make it very hard to move |
A group of contestants are all dressed in giant foam baseball outfits, waiting to catch a baseball.
A guard, usually one half of Popcorn, hits a baseball high into the air over the pitch. Once the ball has been hit, the contestants have to run over to where they think it will land and try and be the one to catch it. They all have a baseball glove to help.
12 balls are launched for each group of contestants, so they have 12 chances to win the game.
