---"I remember back in my day as a kid, I used to be outside every day doing something. Me and my friends used to have neighborhood baseball battles at the nearby elementary school park against the neighbor kids in the next area of our city for fun. When we weren't playing baseball, we always used to dig forts and also have koolaid stands and trade baseball cards. I am only 24 yet the stuff I did in the late 80's and early 90's were oddly similar to the stuff my parents did back in their day. When Mortal Kombat first came out, the only kids who played it were the "outcasts." Now it seems like everyone plays these games. There probably wasn't a day that went by during the summer that I didn't play baseball. Only when it was raining, me and my friends decided to watch movies or play Legos. Welcome to the video game age fellow Brewerfan.netters, where kids are disillusioned with not only sports but also society as a whole. "--- Jaybird, my childhood experiences were pretty much a carbon copy of yours. I did that stuff in the late 90's early 2000's. Our summer consisted of playing baseball, whether it be games, home run derbys, groundball contests, or simply playing a game of catch. We also made forts, had lemonade stands, and collected/traded baseball cards. We even played Legos all the time on rainy days. But my point is, that yes, there are less kids who play baseball. But there are still plenty of kids who do. It wasn't too long ago that kids like me were, and I'm sure theres more kids that will.
