Take note of how many 'prohibited' categories (in red circles) are on the sign. Assign that value to 'N'.
A = N - 2
B = N + 1
C = N + 1
D = N + 2
E = N + 2
F = N multiplied by N
Field check: A + B + C + D + E + F = 28

Previous hide by this name went missing. Bringing it back to life with a few changes.
Vintage Base Ball player positioning, rules and equipment evolved quickly from 1858 - 1867.
Equipment standardized, rules changed to perfect the game and, much later, gloves began to be used.
Player positioning and rules had a great impact on the game...especially considering there were no fielding gloves.
Below are the players' positions. Think about how this could affect the game!
Player --> Positioning (circa 1860)
Basemen --> play within a step of their base.
Shortstop --> may play anywhere.
Outfielders --> play straight away.
Behind --> plays several feet behind home plate.
Striker --> straddles a line drawn through home plate.
Hurler --> tosses from behind a line 45 feet from home plate.
Ball being Struck
...and no, the ball is NOT soft....
