I remember the kids with transistor radios would sneak them into school to listen to the World Series.

I remember being afraid to take mine to school, lest it be confiscated and not returned. Yeah, they talked a strict line that way about forbidden items, and I never wanted to test them...

We would race down to the coaches office after school and catch the last few innings... Day baseball on weekdays, even the world series

Those were the days, real baseball, not homerun derby. The boys could bunt, hit and run, steal a base, brush back a batter leaning in too far.... Now it's soooooooo boring. No strategy.... Even if a bunt is signaled in, it is usually be fouled off or whiffed. Haven't watched a full game in years.
