Description | per Thomason.[80] Half-Rubber is recalled as a 1930s school recess game involving a sponge-rubber ball sliced cleanly in half and a sawed-off broomstick as a bat. Thrown side-arm, the ball had good movement, and was difficult to field. There was no running, but outs and innings were recorded and (virtual) base advancement depending on the lengths that the ball was batted. A 1997 newspaper article[81] recalls a similar game recalled as Half-Ball being played in the Philadelphia area. |
