In the summer, my brothers and I along with a few other guys would grab our gloves, bats and balls and wander into different neighborhoods. When we saw some kids, we would ask them if they had a team. Most of the time in about a half hour we had a baseball game going on some impromtu field.

I don't see many kids out now days. They still make them don't they?

Yeah, they do. At least in my family. My wife and I have four, but sadly, they've never enjoyed the freedom of movement that I took for granted when I was a kid.

My childhood was from the early 50s through the late 60s. What a time to be a kid in America. I could talk for hours about all the fun and adventures I experienced. Kids today don't have the slightest clue what that life was like. It saddens me that they've been robbed so badly because of what our nation has become.
