Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 5275238, member: 6158"] Baseball pickup as young kid. Three on a side Pitcher, left centerfielder (only righthanded batters) and first baseman. If there was eight we added either a shortstop or another outfielder if there was a big hitter. No balls or strikes; only swings and misses or foul balls. Start in the morning. Lunch. Continue after lunch until dinner. Or go swimming in the afternoon and then renew baseball after dinner until dark. Played in a vacant lot which had weeds which were up to our waists by the end of the season. The fun of playing without adults around and being with your friends all day. Bill Monboquette Red Sox pitcher said he did not approve of Little League saying "ask them the last time they got a hundred hits in a day." [/QUOTE]
