Looking for Fun Baseball Games

WalesWales1,000+ posts
Hello all!

As some of you may know I'm engaged to be married in May 2011. That being said my fiancee's family has decided to throw us a Stag and Doe.

Her family kicked around a couple ideas for "themes" of the party and they settled on.... Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

I thought this was a great idea and am excited to see how it will go.

They are looking for ideas for games to play at the stag and doe and they would like them to be Baseball related.

So I thought what better resource is there then the HSBBW. I'm asking you all if you have any fun Baseball games, like the little games that are played in between innings at ball games, or if someone out there has acutally done a stag and doe with a Baseball theme. Or if anyone has any ideas that they would be willing to share.

I'm looking forward to seeing the responses for this topic and all thoughts and ideas are appreciated and I'll be sure to post pictures of the party once it has happened.

Thanks for all your help!

Doc

Congratulations on the marriage. Best wishes and hope it's a really long one.

I'll be honest and say I have no idea what a stag or doe is? I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing between America and Canada or if I'm just a complete moron for not knowing what it is.

So - what is a stag and doe? (and yes I realize what they are in nature but never heard it applied to a wedding before)

Well the best way to describe it is how Wikipedia describes it I think.

In Canada, a stag and doe, or buck and doe, is a wedding tradition popular in Southern Ontario.

The event is usually organized by the bridal party, but in some circumstances may also be held by the bride and groom before they are married. Similar to a combined bachelor party and bachelorette party, or a 'Jack & Jill.'

It acts as a fundraiser for the wedding. Guests purchase entrance tickets and are entertained by draws, food and drink, music and fun and games.

The only game I've been able to come up with is the one where you take the contestants and get them to grab a bat and put it in the ground so it's straight up and down and then have them bend over so their forehead is on the knob of the bat and spin around and around for like 30 seconds as fast as they can and then run to a finish line and the first one there wins a prize. For some reason this is the only game I can remember watching at a ball game in between innings.

I guess I was scared of what might pop up on the school's computer if I tried to google buck and doe. They usually frown upon us looking at that stuff here at school LOL.

That is a cool idea for something to do to help pay for the wedding.

You could do a balance the bat on the hand competition. Get a stopwatch and time everyone to see who can balance a bat the longest gets a prize.

Do this BEFORE dinner and drinks.

Well let me set our wedding reception table for you gameday...

Every ethnic group on my bride's side fired a salvo or two...
    The Italians raked me with ravioli.
    The Greeks lobbed oily olives.
    The Lithuanians let fly with kugelis.

The only trouble was none of these items were on the menu. It was more like a well orchestrated ambush. The ravioli was frozen and flew like a rigid, semolina fueled, shuriken. The olives weren't pitted and were the size of a robin's egg. And the kugelis was amazing...piping hot! To this day I still wonder how they pulled that off. It had to have come straight out of the oven, but no one in the kitchen spoke a lick of Lithuanian!

Caught off guard, the counter offensive from my Irish and Scottish kin was pretty lame. Mostly tepid mashed potatoes tinged with too little gravy, hastily scraped from their dinner plates and hurled in no particular direction. We lacked a good artillery spotter. An overloaded haggis would have helped even the score, but they unfortunately were not on the menu either...just as well really.
