• c. said simulated surface further having at least two batter's boxes thereon spaced on opposite sides of said simulated baseball home plate;
• d. a hollow base adapted to containing stablizing filler material;
• e. said hollow base having a substantially flat bottom and said flat bottom being adapted to being placed upon one of said batter's boxes;
• f. a substantially vertical column supported by and projecting upward from said hollow base;
• g. a substantially horizontal arm having one of its ends cooperatively engaging said vertical column and adapted to being displaced into a plurality of vertical positions thereon;
• h. means for locking said horizontal arm in one of said vertical positions;
• i. a reduced-diameter neck region on said horizontal arm adjacent to its other end thereof;
• j. a hollow ball;
• k. a tether attached to said hollow ball at one end and having a loop at its other end;
• l. said loop being adapted to passing over said other end of said horizontal arm whereby said hollow ball hangs suspended therefrom;
• m. a clip on said tether adapted to reducing the dimension of said loop whereby said loop is freely retained in said reduced-diameter neck region and said tether and ball are enabled to rotate about the longitudinal axis of said arm;
