For all of you young travel ball veterans:
You missed out on a lot of fun doing those practice every day of the year teams. Winning my Pony League's championship the summer after my freshman year was nowhere near as much fun as an average day when we were playing at our neighborhood's vacant lot. The man that owned it kept it mowed all summer when his son was a kid. He continued to mow it for us kids that came after his son was grown. If one of us got hurt, nobody's parents thought about suing him. We didn't have real bases. Seem to remember having plywood squares at first and home plate, but sometimes we'd use a paper bag with a few rocks on it at second and third. If one of use got a big splinter from a piece of plywood, nobody got sued.
By the 5th or 6th grade, we used the fields we played Little League thru American Legion on. They were vacant for pick-up games all day every summer. Sometimes we'd ride our bikes across town and play our neighborhood against those snotty nosed Eastside kids. People didn't sue cities if their unsupervised kids got hurt playing on their field.
