How did we entertain ourselves before electronics invaded our lives? Easy. Mom! Ya got an old broom I can have?

Once the weather got better, we hit the streets...

1st base could be the back fender of Mr. Van Houten's car - the green car on the right, 2nd base and home plate were always the sewer plates in the middle of the street, and third base was the lid from Mr Gizzo's garbage can. All we needed was an old broom handle and a 15 cent pink Spalding - we called 'em 'Spaldenes'. 
 

This is why I'm so glad I grew up in the inner city 
instead of on some farm somewhere in Podunkville.
We knew how to make our own fun...
