Kids today don’t have enough friends to get a cohesive team together.
Does anyone here remember playing “workup” baseball? We didn’t have teams. You started in right field. Every time someone struck out or was put out, he went to right field and everyone else moved up one notch—right field, center field, left field, third base, shortstop, second base, first base, pitcher, catcher, and, finally, at bat. You batted until you were put out. Then you started all over again in right field. If we had more players than positions to fill, we just had a crowd of right fielders!
