Every player who showed up played in the field, all at once and there were about 15 on a team. Parents cheered (or you might call it screaming at the top of their lungs), and there were no umpires.
And one family was designated to bring the juice and snacks for every post game cool down.
No one got trophies at the end of season and all players kept their T shirts and hats.

Exactly. The "umpire" is a young woman who works for the YMCA. She's there mainly to administer the Y oath and put the T up after the kids miss three pitches from the coach.
The first game, a few of us Dad's actually stood in the field with our kids.
Halfway through the first inning; "Dad, could you find some food cause I'm getting hungry."
Halfway through the second inning; "I don't want to play anymore."
