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).
According the the 2008 Vintage Game Collection version of Jenga, the tallest recorded Jenga tower was made by Robert Grebler in 1985 with a tower 40 2â3 levels*, using an original Jenga set produced by Leslie Scott, the designer of the game. Board Game Geek's gallery for Jenga includes a picture that nearly matches this at 40 levels tall.
