The children in this neighborhood play what I like to call “rule ball”.
It seems to be game like sandlot baseball, but with a few key differences.
The game still has a bat and a ball, and I think bases.
How the game is played a pitcher throws a ball at a batter. The batter hits the ball and then they argue over the rules for 8 to 12 minutes. This goes on for a few hits, but by then, the arguing gets to the point one of the parents comes out and yells at the kids for yelling at each other.
Kids, it’s just a game. There are enough rules when you are an adult.
When Glenn gets older I will make sure he has at least a few care free years before life crushes his spirit.
