I have tried to teach my son and some of his teammates little bits of history. A trivia question here and there ....

I gave take home trivia quizes in 9/10 rec and 9U and 10U travel. I told the kids it was OK to do the quizzes with their parents. I bought special baseball cards for the top three finishers. We did the answers as a group. We had great laughs from some of the answers. The board told me to stop or get a card for every kid. My favorite quiz response was to "Who's on first?" A few responded "yes." Most responded, "Greg plays first."

In 7/8 rec ball I gave away baseball cards after the games. One parent said his kid stuck out baseball for two years just because of the cards. When a kid could tell me something about the player on the card, he got that card. The board told me to hand them out randomly. It was unfair some kids knew more about the players.
