Description | A fungo game in which a ball is hit to a group of fielders. If one of them can roll the ball back and hit the bat so that the ball hits the ground before the batter can catch the ricochet, the two exchange places. Baserunning and pitching are not part of this fungo game. [As recalled in Central New York in the 1950s] |
