DONKEY BASEBALL | Donkey baseball was a gimmick used often by promoter Ray Doan. All players, except for pitcher and catcher, were required to ride donkeys during the course of the game. They fielded the ball while on the donkey, or as far as the reins would allow them. Hitters batted in the normal manner, but once the ball was hit, they had to mount a donkey and navigate their way around the bases.
