Description:	<p>A "National 3 Man Ball League and Baseball Tournament" was announced in March 2013, to take place n Miami in April 2013.</p> <p>In this game, hitters swing at underhand deliveries (from a teammate) and try to hit the (undefined) ball into a fairly narrow pizza-slice-shaped fair territory such&nbsp;that it is&nbsp;not caught by the three fielders playing defense for the opposing club.&nbsp; Shorter "hits" are counted as singles, longer ones doubles and triples, and hits passing the 360-foot outer boundary are home runs.</p> <p>The game uses imaginary base-runners who normally advance only one base at a time.&nbsp; An unusual feature of this game is that after three home runs are achieved,&nbsp;additional hits beyond the end-line are registered as outs.&nbsp; Games take 45 minutes, or an unclear number of innings.</p> <p>This game bears a resemblance to other non-running fungo-type games listed on this website, including [[Indian Ball]] (Missouri), [[Line Ball]] (Chicago), [[Wiffleball]], [[Pingball]], [[Evansville Townball]], and&nbsp; [[Grutz]].</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
