Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 5275252, member: 34"] We had a couple of things going on. Basketball was the easiest. Neighbor next to is had a paved 20'x20' court they had made for their kids but they were older and we could use it whenever we wanted. When it snowed, we shoveled it. They always had a massive Mastiff/St Bernard mix and if the ball made it to the dog, wiping off large amounts of drool was required. Played one on one or two on two. Only added a "3 point line" in the mid 1980's. My back yard was the baseball/football field. Neighbors on other side of property had some hedges which made a natural fence. Two trees were second base and third base. Mostly played with tennis ball and whiffle ball bats taped with electric tape. Tennis was played on the street with cracks in the road being the net line and an agreed upon height for shots being high enough or too low. Hockey was played on a couple of nearby ponds. [/QUOTE]
