Axe Handle Basketball Homerun Derby

Having a 4th of July picnic?

Looking for something to enhance your beer drinking, burger eating fun?

Have I got just the game for you.

AXE HANDLE BASKETBALL HOMERUN DERBY*!!

This game is very simple, takes minimal supplies (you probably already have them), is loads of fun, and hurts like the dickens.


Supplies:

1.) Axe Handle












2.) Basketball
















3.) Fence (optional)













Ground Rules:

Pick an appropriate distance from your fence (or other homerun boundary) for the batter to stand.

Everyone else positions themselves near the fence to shag balls.

The batter throws the ball to up and tries to hit the piss out of it. For a first time batter this is generally followed by a quick drop of the axe handle and shake of the hands and possibly a comment such as "shit that hurts".

After you get a taste for the recoil that your wrists will be experiencing the game gets much easier and the ball will start to fly out of the yard.

Every batter gets 10 outs per round. Anything that is not a homerun is an out.


Like in any home run derby, the player with the most number of homeruns wins.


*Inventing credit of this game goes to my father and his friends. Keep in mind this game was most likely developed while under the influence and should be played in the same state.
