    This game is so awesome! The poster known as Don Grahamleone and myself used to play it all the time. Basically, you buile a little league-esque team, and try and make them great. You then watch them play other people around the net, and cheer them on. We can get a league going if you guys want!


    Go here, and download the game.

    Small Ball!

    Meh. I'll bump the thread once, then let it slide.


    My team still sucks, after a day of training. I did pick on some guy that just joined, challeneged him, and beat him 43 to 7. My pitcher's ERA is now a 12.60, but he did have 14 strike outs. :)

    I'm gonna try it out too. Plus I'll need something to do in my spare time this summer.

    edit: Guess I won't get to do it until later. EXE file downloads are disabled at work.

    Is the game XP compatible? On the download direction it states...

    No mention of XP, and I keep getting an error message when I try to run the .exe...

    2 Questions

    1. How do I stop the game from randomly crashing?

    2. How do I get named players?

    3. How exactly do you choose whose best for what position, i was reading the forums for it, and it seems like its a really long process. Someone was saying to choose a pitcher you gotta use like 2 and let them throw for like 3 days straight that way you can determine whose the better of the 2.

    just a tip..i went to message board...there is a fix for the crash..change your shortcut from whatever....smallball.exe to whatever....start.jar

    Then you never crash and you can play just fine.
