Extreme Baseball is a new sport based on traditional baseball. The main difference is that both teams are on the field at the same time. Pitchers from each team take turns pitching to batters at two adjacent home plates. One team runs around the bases in the normal counter clockwise direction, while the other team runs around bases in a clockwise direction. The world premier game took place on May 5, 2007 at Sanford Memorial Stadium in Sanford, Florida.
Extreme Baseball was conceived and developed by Phillip Weidner a native of Daytona Beach, Florida and an avid fan of traditional baseball. In 2006, Weidner applied for a US federal patent on the extreme baseball concept and the concept and patent are pending as of 2007.
Extreme Baseball teams from Saint Petersburg, Florida, Orlando, Florida, and Miami Florida are currently competing.
