Back in my playing days it was "stick ball" from early
morning till sunset. Then on weekends if we could get
at least 14 guys together, we would play "Hardball".

There were no organized BB leagues in our neighborhood.
No screaming parents in the stands......No nasty umpires
to argue with......No wire fences to confine us......and,
No coaches who favored certain kids (whose parents were
constantly "kissing up" to him).

It was pure "un-ADULT-erated" joy, playing ball back in
late '40s and thru the 1950's.
