I used to play on an industrial league at good ole Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo in the late 60's - early 70's. We called it "LOB Ball". Your own guy pitched to you. He had to get the ball within a 3 or 4 foot circle around home plate. Three pitches or you're out. You basically porked it up so your guy could whack it.

Another fast game.......
At the Naval Postgrad School in Monterey we played a game called "Socko." Pitcher was on your own team. Three pitches to hit a fair ball. If it touched the pitcher, it was interference. Thanksgiving tournament was 1-pitch. Games ended in 45 minutes.
