T-Ball and Pitching Machine Baseball

T-Ball and Pitching Machine Baseball (formerly Knothole and BobbySox) is a fun and positive approach to instructional baseball. By tailoring the rules and equipment, children are better allowed to learn and be successful playing the game. Different leagues are offered to try to include all ages.
