Homerun Bomber

You must designate your Bomber at the umpires pre game meeting before every game. If you do not declare a HR Bomber, then you do not get one for that game.

If your Bomber gets walked during the game, your team has one FREE Bomb to hit until that BOMBER comes back up to bat. If you don’t hit the HR before the BOMBER gets back up to bat, then you lose the FREE Homerun.
