America's Drinking Pastime: Baseball

While looking over the final results of the most recent poll, it occurred to me that we left a crucially important favorite off the list: Baseball.  Baseball is a great American drinking game.  It combines our favorite elements of Ruit and the best parts of the actual sport together to make for one hell of a game.

As far as I'm concerned, Baseball is a true competitor's game.  Lining the cups up in a row like this make them harder to hit than the usual triangle of a ruit outing.  Even better, you have to aim for specific cups (the back ones), unless you're a bitch and prefer to play small-ball. Also, you get penalized for missing: not only do you miss a turn but you get an out for the team.  As some added features, catching the ball is important and you get a game of flip cup in order to steal.  In the pursuit of a good, multi-person drinking game, I nominate Baseball as the best option.  Civil War is fun, particularly because it's lack of structure and general quickness. Baseball, on the other hand, has a lot of rules.  That may sound like a bad thing, but in games like these, rules separate the novices from the pros.  Plus, it's the laziest possible way one can attempt to play the actual sport of baseball and that's inherently fratty.

Yes, I wish the picture didn't have the stupid logo on it.  That's gay as shit.  And no, I won't explain the rules of the game.
