We mainly played in the street with manhole covers as home and second base, and car fenders as 1st + 3rd. Made for a narrow field. No balls and strikes (unless you missed the ball) and often no pitcher ----> just throw it up and hit it like a fungo.

It seemed that we were always trying to fish the ball out of a sewer. But often enuff there were other balls in the sewer, so since you were there, might as well build up an inventory of smelly, slimy spauldeens, tennis balls, sponge balls, etc.
