Flatbush Flyers Forever

Fast-pitch stickball. One throw of the bones per at-bat. The weights live in the matchup — Frankie feasts on a short-arm, Russell has to scratch against heat. You run the Flyers.

Six innings. Pitcher throws the bones. One roll per at-bat.

How the bones work

  • Each at-bat is one throw. The pitcher presses the button. Two dice, thirty-six cells, the whole plate appearance.
  • The 6×6 card is weighted by the matchup. A high-quality bat against a short arm fills the card with hits. A weak stick against heat is strikeouts and gloves.
  • Book 9 is a batter's feast. Book 1 is the pitcher's yard. Frankie vs Enzo is not the same roll as Russell vs Vinny.
  • Distance still writes the extra bases. Ghost runners only. Two fielders. Six innings. Flyers bat last.
