  • Back in those days the job of a kid was to be a kid:
  • Only job requirement: Go outside and play!
  • Your mom didn't know where you were and it was okay!  
  • You played ball in the morning and through the afternoon
  • Two guys would throw a bat and then choose up sides
  • Rules included Right Field Out, Pitcher's Hands Out

    • When you weren't playing you were looking for a game, riding around with
    your glove looped over the handlebars of your bike, and when you found a game

  • You didn't play on an official field
  • You didn't wear a uniform
  • And your moms didn't see you play!
