How did we (old timers) ever survive without all the rules and regulations we see now. Back i the neanthedral days we played every day on the sandlots. the equipment was not inspected. the fields had rocks broken glass. Cant remember wearing a helmet. Played till it was dark. If you had a curve ball you threw it because nobody could hit a good one. We all survived. many of us played high school a some college and 1 played some professionally. How did that happen?
