Sandlot Baseball


Baseball came to America and took it by storm. Everybody wanted to play. Back in the early 1900's boys just got together and played every chance they got. They didn't need uniforms, bases, coaches, umpires, lots of bats and balls...........they just played for the love of the game. If there were not nine men on each team, they just played with however many showed up. Many a good professional baseball player came from that type of background such as: Dizzy and Paul Dean, Joe Adcock, and Cy Young. Today kids think they have to have all the above and more or the game can't be played...........shame!
