I tried playing that game once. I got in trouble every time I hit the ball over the fence. :? I guess I still don't understand.

I can send you a clip as soon as the season starts again and they televise a match. That's going to take a few months though...

I tried googling. Not much anything. Theres some photo animations on a youth site I guess for instruction on how to use the fan. And theres a good picture of the field & rules.

Basically you had an open gravel/sand pit with approximate size of a soccer field, so with a little lime and a round disc you can play 'pesäpallo' and soccer on a field and when winter comes freeze it and play jääpallo or even hockey.

These days of course you have dedicated pesäpallo arenas, but still for schools, you don't need a mound and the size for a diamond or any nets, so its a frugal sport.

Dunno, probably they are about as cluttered as hockey players. Personally if I had a business I'd be really pressed to see what added value seeing my company logo in a hockey player's sweaty ass would give. But I guess quantity must fill in for quality....
