Anyone know the rules this baseball gambling game?

Question

I've seen it played but never got all the rules. Say four people are sitting in the stands at a baseball game...

The rules go something like this: I think everyone adds one dollar to the pot before the game starts. If a hitter reaches base, the first player gets to take a dollar from the pot. if the next player is called out, then player two would add a dollar to the pot. if the next hitter hits a home run, the third player would get all the money.

It's a simple game. I'm sure there are more rules to the game than what I've written above. Does anyone know if it has a name?

Answer 1

i think it is just called the hat game

for each at bat, a baseball cap is passed to the next person in the row, who puts a dollar in the hat; if the batter hits a home run while you’re holding the cap, you win the pot.
