Seek Baseball

Baseball usually sucks. I love the sport when something is happening. But, it seems to be that about 4/5 of the game is just waiting for excitement. So, I came up with Seek Baseball. Here is how it is played. Just about all the rules are the same. But, the bases are moved by "Base Zombies". Base Zombies are especially trained base movers. They wear a powder blue uniform...like the UN helmets...and there are three of them. Each base has a base zombie except for home plate. The job of the base zombie is to move the base two steps every time there is a pitch. As soon as the catcher catches the ball or the ball is hit, the Base Zombie picks up the base he or she is responsible for and moves it two steps in any direction he or she chooses. There are limits, of course. First base has a 40 ft half circle, as does third base, within which it can be moved. Second base has a 3/4 circle 40 ft in diameter within which it can be moved. The bases are in their usual position at the start of the game and by the fifth inning, first base might be 130 feet away from home and only twenty feet from second...third might be only 50 feet from home plate...see? This would change the dynamic of baseball to make it so much more exciting...and it would change the strategy...no more predictable sacrifice flys or bunts or double-play guarantees....and the fielders would then have entirely new decisions to make on where to send the ball....and just think of the delicious mistakes that would be made! I can hardly wait to play a game....if I could only find enough players and three Base Zombies...

<game> USUALLY SUCKS...BIG DIFFERENCE...;-)
