Ever-useful Wikipedia writes this
about punchball:
Punchball is a sport similar to
baseball but without a pitcher,
catcher, or bat. It is a pastime
of football announcer Al
Michaels, who often played with
former Chicago Bears quarterback
Sid Luckman.
Kimberly,
by the way, is the company town
that K-C created for the employees
of its factories.
