Thanks for these! I went with "dizzy sticks" if you want to post this as an answer?

These seem similar especially if you do image searches or look at YouTube videos.

dizzy stick(s)

Hi Richard

Here are some of the links I found:

Variants of the game include a “dizzy stick” portion in the finals innings.
In the “dizzy stick” variant, a mini-game is played where both teams take turns playing a sort of relay race. Players must hold a baseball bat and spin themselves in a circle 20 times, sprint to first base, pound a beer, and run back while tagging the next person. The team that finishes first wins and the losing team must all take a shot. After “dizzy sticks”, the game finishes per normal rules.

Dizzy Bat (typ som irish christmas där man först dricker upp en öl och sen snurrar runt ett basebollträ och sedan ska pricka en ölburk som någon kasta mot en)

redneck games

It is in the category "redneck games". This one is called dizzy bats. Because you use a baseball bat to spin around.
See link to video on youtube.
