The Vintage Base Ball Federation is a proposed baseball league which will play by the original rules of the game. Proposed by former Major League pitcher Jim Bouton in 2006, the rules will include:
Six balls for a walk
No strike count for a foul ball
A foul ball caught on a bounce will count as an out
A hit batsman will count as a ball and will not be awarded first base unless it is ball six
Only one ball will be used per game unless it becomes too worn out
Bouton is opening the league to any amateur baseball or softball team
