Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5306017, member: 12414"] I pretty much liked every response. Seems like many of us had the same summer activities. Wiffle ball was big. We also played tennis ball in the street. I guess that would be the CT version of stick ball. Telephone pole to telephone ball. Home run if it landed past the telephone pole. But you were allowed to catch it so some of us had a lot of HR’s robbed. Played hard ball in the hospital field and dodging security. Going to the firehouse and the firemen would buy us sodas from the old time soda machines that were flat tops with the glass bottles hanging. 25 cents for a bottle of orange soda. Don’t remember if they were 10 or 12 oz. Listening to both the Yankees and RedSox games on the radio while we played fast pitch Wiffle ball in my friends backyard. His Dad hooked us up with 3 spotlights and it was under the lights. In the garden was a home run and we had to get an adult to get the ball because we would inevitably stomp on some vegetable every time we tried to retrieve the HR ball. My kids spend their days in their rooms playing video games, we were out from 8am until 9-10pm every day playing something. So happy I grew up in the late 70’s early 80’s. [/QUOTE]
