As a kid we played a lot of neighborhood baseball on the hills of Duluth. We would use a tennis ball and played in the street, backyard, neighborhood park, and at a sandlot between a church and old school a couple blocks up the hill. The only thing common is that we never had enough to fill an entire team so how did we play baseball with 4-5 kids? We had the help of an invisible player???????
