Backward baseball

No notability outside of the kids who invented it. Denni☯ 01:42, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

• We play it in worcester massachusetts. Also this article has relevance as it provides information on how to play an american childhood game that has become very popular in massachusetts among baseball players.

  • I grew up around Worcester, I've never heard of this. Delete. --Badlydrawnjeff 16:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Sorry, nope, delete. humblefool® 02:31, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. Google for ""backward baseball" yields mostly references to wearing one's cap backwards. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:34, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable.--TheGrza 02:50, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not notable -CunningLinguist 02:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm sorry, it's really not encyclopedic. It could concievably get a mention in Sandlot ball, if we had a list of baseball variations, etc., but it doesn't merit its own article. func(talk) 03:20, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete because ambidextrous players have too much of an advantage. No seriously, not notable. --Unfocused 03:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I was disappointed this wasn't going to be about Australian rules baseball (batter runs to third base after hitting the ball).--Decumanus 05:25, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
• Delete Non notable game. Interesting concept though. Sjakkalle 07:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless it becomes famous and played on a state level at least. Right now, it's promotion/vanity. Mgm|^(talk) 15:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for the lack of nobility. Nestea 17:08, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
