And you thought Matt and Tre's 'Baseketball' was bad....

Youth minister Robin Gattis of the East Valley Foursquare Church in Orangevale, CA invented a new game for the kids of his church to play...Bambi Baseball.

The Sacramento Bee reports that Gattis allowed the kids to replace the traditional bat and ball with the frozen leg of a deer and a frozen cow tongue. Gratis also admitted that Bambi Baseball was preceded by Fish Baseball, in which a frozen trout was used as the bat and frozen squid served as the ball.

Wait, there's more...The Bee went on to report another game in which Gattis encouraged the teens to spit live crickets out of their mouths.

Gattis said the idea for Bambi baseball and cricket spitting came from suggestions made in youth-oriented magazines about games that teenagers would enjoy.

"Some people may think games like this are tasteless," the pastor said. "That is not the intent."

We did a word search in The Bible for 'frozen leg of deer' and 'spitting crickets' but came up short. Perhaps the Foursquare Version includes the final game of Bambi Baseball (Jesus v. The Apostles) after the Last Supper.

So we anoint Gattis and his followers to Selected White Trash.
