Tennis Ball -- The Latest Craze

twentythree · 05-14-2006, 04:50 PM

You have yet to experience fun if you haven't played the great sport of Tennis Ball... Same concept as baseball only we're pitching and fielding a tennisball. It's quite interesting, we play on a little league field and that may sound like a joke, but it isn't as easy to crank one out as you'd think... tennisballs don't carry as easily as a baseball or softball... they're much harder to catch because of the little "bounce" they've got... but its quite fun. You all should come to the great city of Inez with your mitt and possibly your favorite bat and give it a try!

Tennis Ball is taking over the city on Inez. You may question it as everyone does until they actually play and become quite addicted. Just ask people liek coach Shawn Hager and coach JR Hammonds recent victoms of the latest craze. Everyone should try it. Its awesome I been playin going on 2 years now. Hope to see some interest going around bout this.

Yeah I played it when I was growing up too...Not played it in probably 10 years though...So it's not the latest craze, but I'm glad you all are catching on..It is pretty fun

Last time I played was 20 year ago..lol We would take a wiffle ball bat and take black tape and tape it up to make the bat heavier.

I used to go and watch guys like Dut Hall, Chas and Tate Harmon, Shane Simpkins, Jeremy Slone and guys like that play all summer long....It was fun especially late at night, they would get permission to use the lights and play til the wee hours of the mornings!

**BC75** · 05-15-2006, 02:40 AM

Have you ever played it on a tennis court? lol...

Ive played using raquets as bats, its alot of fun.

we just finished an intense game of tennis ball tonight! Travis "Kalvin" Maynard, former SC CF from 94 , went yard. Football coach Shawn Hager had an inside the park homerun, and we had some impressive defense out there. Im telling you i think their will be some big league scouts out there before too long. Somehow former SC baskebtall player Eric "Curve Ball" Evans struck out 15. Thats unheard of!

Well what about that nice poke that was CLUTCH from the only girl on the field? Changed her stance and pulled in the gap towards Tyrel "I PLAY IN BOOTS" Stanley :thumpsup:
