Halfrubber

Certainly you remember Halfball, the 50's and 60's Philadelphia and Boston stickball-like, baseball-related game played with a broomstick and half a hollow-rubber ball. And certainly you've seen the official halfball equipment where, for only $30, you get the "41 inch long by 1.25 inch diameter halfball bat. Handcrafted and turned by a batmaker in Maine, USA to capture the feel of cherished memories, branded with the Halfball logo (and) three bonus halfballs are included with every order." Yes, yes, I admit, there's a little irony here, halfball being a Junkyard Sport par excellence, created, out of necessity, when one's Pimpleball split - and now we have people who are marketing official, pre-made halfballs. But my question to you is have you seen Halfrubber, the beach game?

Yes, yes, remarkably similar to that which we've come to know as Halfball. Played with remarkably similar equipment. But in bathing suits. On the sand. With only three people. A fun thing. A good thing. A thing to be celebrated. A thing to be played.
