BASEketball

I somehow managed to miss BASEketball until it turned up on CityTV, another heroic performance for Trey Parker and Matt Stone. A fan has thoughtfully provided rules to the game.

This is not just a (to me) very funny movie, it is an actual game. It was created at a family picnic by former MAD magazine writer and filmmaker David Zucker (Airplane!, The Naked Gun, and other very very funny movies). He had a basketball hoop over his garage and noticed that, aside from Horse, there weren't many games the non-athletes from the party could play. Eventually, he came up with the rough outline for BASEketball, a hybrid of basketball and baseball.
