The reviews are in, and sluggers are abuzz.

After logging a rousing match in connection with the 2020 Basement Baseball World Series, players offered their thoughts on the Basement Sports starter kit, app, and rules of game play. “The ball, when it hits you, doesn’t hurt,” one player remarked approvingly. He also praised the field markings, tape, and other resources provided with the kit.

The game and setup proved appealing even to those who didn’t have prior experience with the American Pastime. “I don’t play baseball, but for my first time in a long time it was very fun,”a participant shared. He spoke approvingly of the padded base mats, which shielded players from the hard floor of their basement. “The app is also very cool,” he added, in that it “adds a different dimension to the game.”

The Basement baseball starter kits and related baseball accessories are available on Amazon and the Basement Sports website. With the state of New Jersey placing a full and complete pause on indoor youth and adult sports until January of 2021, and other states looking to follow suit, Basement Sports provides a singular opportunity to continue generating an old-fashioned sweat, even in the era of COVID-19.
