Description	This game is most often seen as a schoolyard game with from two to five players. A strike zone is drawn on a suitable wall, and a batter stands before it, attempting to hit a tennis ball, a rubber ball or another type of projectile. Baserunning is not usual. All other rules - for base advancement by imaginary runners, changing of batters, etc., seem flexible to circumstance. (Verification needed.) As of Fall 2013, it is our preliminary impression that there are several local variants of strike-out, the name used in Central New York, and we group them together here under that name; they include PeeGee ball and Indian Ball.

Comment	As of Spring 2022, we are seeking additional information on local "strike-zone-on-wall" games. One sees strike zones displayed on school-yard and other walls in many geographical areas. What names were used for such games in different areas? Did any involve actual base-running? Are such games known outside the US? Did most use standard tennis balls? Edit with form to add a comment
