  • Once a year we gather in the field for a game of rounders. This is how we play it, though it's possible that our version deviates a little from the official rules.. We collect anyone who's around, argue about the rules, eat too much and generally have a very good time...
    Rounders is a bit like softball or baseball or cricket -- but with more falling over. We play it with a tennis-ball and a variety of bats and racquets. The dogs like it a lot and so far no one has been seriously injured at all. We would highly recommend it.
    Thanks to Ron for additional filming.

    We used to play this in school in Denmark back in the 80's. Fun game! I've also found it kinda hilarious that base ball is just a children's game with extra steps 😄

    Good GRIEF!!! I just learned of this and that it is as old as Henry the VIII! THIS is where baseball came from!!! Never knew it existed til now. Weird because watching this and the bunglers playing it looks identical to bunglers bungling baseball here in Central New York State.- right down to the landscape. .... Except the barking dog would be a lab.

    Wasted my time at college in London studying sociology - could have been a national Rounders star. Suposedly this game is played with short bats and one arm swings but these bats are like Little League baseball bats and people were swinging two handed like baseball.

      It's been said that American baseball evolved from rounders. As mentioned in the beginning of the video, it's an ancient game. So baseball and softball came from rounders, not the other way around.
      In Ken Burns' series "Baseball" it's even mentioned that the game most likely evolved from rounders.
