Congratulations! You've entered the Official Pinecone Ball website.
Pinecone Ball was invented at the Illinios Summer Training Program in the summer of 2004. The game evolved from the game of Frisbee Ball which was invented at the same Sprog. It has now been adopted by the Midwest Region SSC as its official game.
The game is played with any nuber of players. Bases are placed as in baseball except that homeplate is the bat. The bat is actually a tennis or badmitten raquet. A large number of pinecones are used instead of baseballs.
