About the Khoury League Leather Corkballs - Teampack of 12, White
Khoury League Corkballs are white leather cover corkballs stamped Official Corkball, packed as a teampack of 12. Corkball is a simple, challenging bat-and-ball game that can be played by as few as two players, and the same small ball doubles as a batting practice aid for baseball hitters who want to sharpen contact, or just for backyard fun.
Corkball, a St. Louis Original
Corkball was being played in the streets and alleys of St. Louis by about 1890, and it is still played in leagues today. There is no base running: a pitcher throws the small ball to a hitter with a thin bat, and how far the ball travels decides the hit. That makes it a game that needs little space and few players. For a baseball hitter, squaring up a ball this small with a thin barrel is demanding work, which makes a corkball a useful batting training aid.
