The heat of the long summer has got too many people hot and bothered. Couldn't you use a little ice-cold amusement? Wouldn't you like to vent your frustrations by using a large club to hammer a defenceless penguin into the stratosphere? Of course you would! If you haven't yet experienced the joy of YetiSports, click to their home page and start with "Stage 1: Pengu Throw." My personal best is 319.1 metres; can you top it? And while you're at it, find out just how poorly you'd do against major-league pitching by stepping into a whole other kind of batter's box. And if anyone has links to other good online baseball diversions, please add them here. Enjoy.
My best at the Pengu Throw was 319.1 metres as well. Is that the most one can get?
320.5 Take that. Took me more than few tries though.
I batted my pengu 322.9, but still haven't managed to go 5/5 yet!
307.9 metres was my best. I'm prone to whiffing, though.

323.4, but it was an Astroturf bounce...

Well, Jim is the early leader in the Avoid Work Sweepstakes...
Don't worry it won't last. There's still a good 5 hours of avoiding work to be done.

COMN for three other baseball games:
Bullpen Blast (try and throw a perfect game)
Home Run Rally (self-explanatory)
Wiffle Baseball (good ol' 1 on 1 game)

I don't have the link handy, but that Choose Your Own Adventure where you became the commissioner of baseball that surfaced last year is downright hilarious. Of those sorts of online diversions, its probably the funniest I've ever seen.
306.. but I hit all the birds with the other 4 resulting in what can only be described as a 200 YARD-FACE-PLANT with no bounce or slide
Okay, is the reaction times game suppose to be hard? my reaction time varied from about .19 to .24 seconds or so.
320.5 first try. Finally something I'm good at! I've found my calling.
320.3 is my new best. Jordan, I'm going to kill you. ;)

I've had a bit of fun with that wack the penguin game too. 315.1 was my best. The boss came in and got 311 (she was addicted to it quick).
Sadly, work calls 8(

My best so far (after far too many attempts) is 322.8 on one penguin and 1372 in one round.
I remember playing this way before when the bat-a-penguin was the only part. I dont even think it was the same guy who expanded the series. I had an almost semester long contest with this guy, have a screenshot somewhere when I got 326 point something. My friend beat me with 328. But the physics may have been different in that game.
That Bullpen Blast game is great, Ive wasted hours but it took me 5 min to figure out how to throw an unhittable strike in both wiffle and bullpen blast. Wiffle is no challenge once you figure it out, but I sometimes make mistakes in the 8th inning of bullpen blast and wreck it.
Its a great game with pinch hitters and everything.

this game is quite addictive... 321 for me. and in the HR derby - 207.2 on the fly!
This has marginal baseball content only (can you spot it?), but it's nonentheless enjoyable.

The best I've ever seen is 325.0. I think that's the limit.
I think I have the new Batters Box individual record, inching out Jim by a nose at 323.5. Happened on my 5th attempt.

My maximum was 317, but I averaged around 150.

I love the HR Derby. I hit 2 out of the park, the longest one went 579 feet.
I just got 323.5! but I think we all know that the real challenge is who can hit him the shortest.... I got 65.4 hehe ;)

Heh, like seeing who can bowl the slowest when the bowling alley has that electronic ball tracking system. It doesn't count if it stops before the pins.

Well, in the reaction time game I went from a low of .3390 seconds, to a best of .0010 - home run! I'm pretty sure I jumped the gun on that one, though
