Moundball
Moundball is a side-betting game typically played by spectators sitting in the bleachers at Major League Baseball games.[1][2][3] It is often played to pass the time during slow games.[4] At the start of the game, each player places their ante into a plastic cup or hat; the kitty is then passed to the next person at each half inning.[1][5] The game is turn-based, with the goal of having the ball remain on the mound at the end of a player's half-inning turn, in order to win and collect all the money in the kitty.[1][2]
