Since this
isn’t a baseball sim, we could set the diamonds in places that kids hang out
and build temporary arenas such as…
- Adventure playgrounds, summer/
winter (snow cover alters gameplay) versions.
- Farmer’s field where a stream
divides the diamond and stomping on a cow turd is an ever-present danger
with summer/ winter (snow cover alters gameplay) versions.
- Indoor playfield in a school
cafeteria, where food fights and the queue for food add extra dimensions.
- The beach where the surf plays
havoc with the outfield, and watch out for the family who suddenly set up
a picnic in the middle of the playfield.
A wintry playfield would allow altered play
characteristics such as allowing the player a longer slide due to the icy track
between the bases.
The stream running through the farmer’s
field would have frozen and can be run across though it is slippery.
Obstacles for the base runners could be
snow men built on the track.
Snowballs could be thrown by the outfield
to distract the runners (especially if we use the full 3d, as the snowballs
would show up as ball blimps on the radar.
The ball may land in a snowdrift and time
would be wasted digging it out
The playfield would have a place for team
selection
- A diamond
- Scoreboard
- Place for the batting team to congregate
whist waiting for a turn at bat.
