The rules are similar to baseball, with six-inning contests, base-running, and most important, matching shirts that will get players VIP treatment at the nearby Vine Tavern following the games. There's still time to sign up for the competitive as well as the social division (which begins August 3), where you'll find yourself on co-ed teams with euphemistic names like the Bad News Beers and the Double Fisters.

Wednesdays, Fridays, 6 p.m. Starts: Aug. 1. Continues through Sept. 14
