Also what would be the rules?


With a tennis ball is it possible to still throw other pitches like a change up and slider?

First, we always played pitchers hand for outs and you have to pull the ball, anything to the opposite field and you were out. We played with 4 people sometimes when we were kids and those two rules always worked.

Change up yes. Slider, probably, but you won't have any ligaments left in your arm because it's so lite.

You could play with 6 or 8 people. You would have a pitcher, catcher, 1st baseman, 2nd baseman, 3rd baseman, shortstop, left fielder and right fielder. There is 8 people. You could also cut out the outfielders all together for 6 people, but have shortstop, 2nd baseman and 1st play a tad bit deeper. It wouldn't be easy though. I don't think it'd change any rules. As for the tennis ball, it's a little bit heavier so it may make it a little harder to throw change ups and sliders but it could work I guess.

Ever heard of Indian baseball? Split up into two teams and use only one half of the field in order to work on going that way. Anything through the infield is one point, Anything that goes to the fence is two, and homeruns are three.

As for the tennis ball, it is possible the technically throw the pitches, but they won't work as well as a baseball because it doesn't have laces and so the ball won't break as much.

Just close off right field, yes you can throw junk balls with a tennis ball.

curve, fastball, and a slider, and a changeup
idont know the answer to the first on, Screw the DH, Short stop, and center fielder?

well we use to play with 4 in my backyard. we had pitch and catch or pitch and firstbase. we always played pitchers hand, thats were if you get to the base before the ball is in the pitchers hand you are safe and if you don't make it your out. we also played with alot of ghost runners, there was alot of controversy when one of them stold home needless to say.

umm its possible to play with 6 or 8 players just fill in your main possitions, take away center feild, because left and right feild can cover that. and actually if you are playing with 6 people then i would take away all but one outfeilder. umm you don't necisarly need a catcher as long as people are pretty honest and there is not stealing. you would really need a shortstop.

umm i thnk it's possible to throw a change up and a slider with a tennis ball. as long as you through it correctly.

Use a pitching machine in replacement of the pitcher.

You can always cut 3 positions easily, pitcher, catcher and an outfielder. The batting team would supply the pitcher and the first basemen would have to cover home or have a throw beating the runner home is an out. The batter would have to choose which half of the outfield he is going to hit to, if he hits to the other side he is out. You can cut a 4th by having only 3 infelders and then cut a 5th by only having one outfeilder.

If you don't want to cut the pitcher, cut the firstbaseman and have the pitchers glove be the out at first.

To cut even more only use one half of the whole feild, anything hit to the other side is an out.

When I was a kid in the 50's, we would play baseball with 5 on a side - P, SS, 3B, LF,CF. The right side was out of bounds. The team at bat provided a catcher, but the pitcher covered for a play at the plate. All the bases were used but grounders fielded by SS and 3B were thrown to the P and the batter was out if he failed to reach first before the P received the ball. We used a hardball and also designated a distant spot for an automatic home run. This question really brought back memories.

P.S. - For left handed batters the fielders shifted to the right
side of the field and the let side was then out of
bounds.
