that my favorite childhood game would be given its own Wikipedia article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_Up

In one variation of the game, a runner who does not reach the wall before the thrown ball hits must, in addition to receiving an out, stand facing the wall and allow the thrower to "peg" him or her with the ball (usually with all possible force).

So many happy and emotionally scarring memories
