You Don't Know Ball is a classic name chain game. The next player in the chain's first name must start with the first letter of the previous player's last name. That's it, those are the rules. Dig deep to remember your favorite pinch hitter from your child hood or the 5th inning mop up guy in your favorite team's bullpen. Yelling at your friends, "You Don't Know Ball!", the next time you see them in person is optional, but encouraged!
