Have you ever heard of Donkey Baseball before? There's a pitcher and a batter just like in the big leagues... but that's about as far as the normal game goes. Imagine playing a baseball game where in order to make your way around the bases you'd have to be riding a donkey. Imagine being in the outfield and finding the only way you can pass the ball from one player to another is by siting or riding a donkey. Then add to all this the personality of each of the donkeys and you have some of the most hilarious and funny video footage you have ever watched.
I had a similar reaction initially while I was videoing this... but in the end I think the donkeys actually won vs the humans who were trying to ride them. If you know anything about donkeys... they have a tendancy to have it their way or it's "no way".
i wasn't happy watching this. they keep tormenting that donkey, even though its obvious he/she's had enough of being bossed around by the humans and made a laughing stock. whipping him so he'd do what they want? stupid! how degrading and demeaning to this poor animal.
everyone there was obviously taking this as a "fun" event... unless you think of it from the donkeys' perspective.
shows you how twisted the human mind is.

I am looking to do a fundraiser for my office and my boss has been trying for years to have a donkey baseball game. I noticed your story about donkey ball on July 26th, 2006. What information can you give me about where the donkeys came from, who to contact, etc. This would be greatly appreciated.
