Langbold
Langbold is a Danish bat-and-ball game for two teams. One team bats and runs between a front line and back line while the fielding team retrieves the ball and, depending on the rule variant, stops or tags/hits runners. Sources describe Langbold historically as an important Danish ball game and today mainly as school/recreation play; a modern governing body is not documented.
