The official rules for backyard baseball.
Boy's Quest, June, 2005 by Gabby, Aunt
What do you do when you and your friend want to play baseball, but you can't find anyone else to join you? The solution is "backyard baseball." Your backyard can be a "stadium." Each stadium will be quite different needing special ground rules based on size, gardens, trees, fences, doghouses, neighbors, and other typical backyard obstacles.
However, the basic rules and regulations for "one-on-one baseball" are the same for everyone. Permission Needed Be sure to have your parent's permission. Playing Field Boundaries In most cases, the boundaries will be the property lines. Any ball hit beyond the boundaries on the fly or ground is an out. Equipment You need a rubber ball, a wooden or aluminum bat, a glove or two, old welcome...
