This is the home of the Washington Pennsylvania Backyard Baseball League (BBL)™©. This is a league comprised of my friends and some of our local high school's baseball players. We play in backyards that are regulation to BBL standards. We play with our own custom-made, hand-crafted balls out of athletic tape, so that each one is unique but has our pre-determined weight and size. Our official bat is an MLB regulation skinny-barrel wiffle ball bat.

Each game lasts 4 innings, so each team's pitcher pitches 2 innings per game, with 2 outs ending each inning (Different from 3 outs in real baseball). Since each team is made up of only two players, some in-game instances require ghost runners to continue offensive play for a team. Each pitcher is granted 3 "courtesy walks", this means each pitcher must walk a batter(s) 3 times before the batter(s) may start taking their bases as walks.
