Play baseball.  Allow time for all the kids to rotate to the different positions.

Base Hit:  Purchase blow up bats and wiffle balls.   Have the kids hit the balls at a target or through a hoop.  Give each 3-4 turns and give a prize for the highest score.

Ball Player Craft:  Use large sheets of butcher paper and outline each child.  Let them color or paint themselves as a baseball player. 

Blindfolded baseball:  draw a baseball field on a cork board or large poster board.  Blindfolded the kids, who then have to pin a baseball on the "field."  They get certain points for different plays --
if they pin their ball near first base-one point;
at home plate-four points, etc. 
The child with the most points gets a new baseball.

Piñata shaped like a baseball, use a plastic bat to hit it with.
