I'm 69. I was born and raised on Chicago's West Side. We went to the local park, playground, or school yard. Sometimes, we played in an empty lot, or played over-the-line in the street. You learned to hit straight-away, because broken windows were costly to replace. We used anything we could find for bases. Sometimes, if we were lucky, one of the fathers would let us use floor mats from his car.
But, as I said earlier, we had FUN!!!
