Improvised diamond marked out in a street or yard

HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark out a small diamond with bases using chalk, rocks, or any handy markers.

2

Have the pitcher flick the bent bottle cap toward the batter so it curves unpredictably.

3

Swing the bat to hit the curving cap, then run the bases like in baseball.

4

Record outs by catching the cap, tagging a runner, or forcing them out at a base.

5

Switch batting and fielding teams after three outs, keeping score by counting runs.

6

Play an agreed number of innings to determine the winner.
