After everyone has piled on the appropriate condiments, no ketchup of course, we make our way to our seats. Same place every time: third base line, lower level, right where we can heckle the opposing team throughout the game. We get to our seats just in time to see some celebrity attempt to throw the first pitch and the game has begun. Within minutes we are all immersed in cheering on the Cubs, insulting the other team, and chewing out the umpires for whatever calls we feel are unjust. If a ball is smashed towards the wall, we are on our feet in seconds, inspiring it to grow wings and leave the ballpark.

The distance at which the trampoline is placed from the batter who is also the thrower is in direct correlation to the distance of the line that is to be hit past. The game starts with the batter/ thrower, hucking the ball into the trampoline so that it bounces back and is in a good position to be hit. The batter/thrower will then pick up the bat and attempt to hit the ball that he just pitched past the aforementioned line. If the ball is to fall past said line a point is scored, and if not then an out is administered. In total there are 69 pitches to be thrown and in order to be the victor of Freudian baseball one must successfully hit 35 balls past the line.
