Satchel gave nicknames to all of his pitches, like the bee-ball, the barber, the two-hump blooper, the jump-ball, the trouble-ball, the long-ball, the bat dodger and his fastball, which he called Long Tom. His most unusual throw was called the hesitation pitch, because he stopped his arm for a second right before he released the ball to throw the batterâs timing off.
Jenga is played with 54 wooden blocks. Each block is three times longer than its width, and one fifth as thick as its length 1.5 cm Ã 2.5 cm Ã 7.5 cm (0.59 in Ã 0.98 in Ã 2.95 in).
Any number of players can join in a game of tumble tower and it can also be played alone. First the tower has to be built. Each wooden Jenga block is three times as long as it is wide (the same for. giant jenga as the normal jenga) and the tumble tower should be built to 17 stories high. The blocks should be stacked in threes and each alternate story is laid in cross ways direction so, for. example, if the blocks in the first level lie lengthwise in a north-south direction, the second level blocks.
