Why do old ballfields shrink?
 |
| The old dugout |
 |
| The other dugout and infield that seems so small now |
 |
| Many a day and night was in the old dugout near homeplate |
 |
| I remember we call drank from the same jug in this dugout and I ended up with mono one season |
 |
| The old pitching pound I pitched from many a game |
 |
| The old team together |
I had an opportunity to stop by the old ballfield before the snow came along a few weeks ago and was amazed how small it now seems. I remembered playing softball there like it was yesterday. I can almost name everyone in the picture of the old team, The Red Devils.
Can you tell which girl I am in the picture?
Have you been to any of your old ballfields or places you played as a kid?
This is fabulous Lisa! Whoa! Taking me back in the day too however I never played ball. My brother did and I was the "bat girl" and the lil girl who supplied the cute team players with bubble gum. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess I would say, either the the 3rd of 4th from the left on the bottom row OR the 2nd from the right bottom row.
Sometimes when I head up north, I drive by my childhood house and elementary school. A lot of good memories there.
I started as a "bat girl" when my older sister played. Bottom row answer is correct.
DeleteThe world seems so big when you're a kid, and when you return to old haunts, you wonder how you fit a whole life into such a small place. I'm guessing you are 3rd from the left, bottom row.
ReplyDeleteyes, so true. 2nd from right bottom :)
DeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteWhoosh... That's really nice to see your softball team :) Remind me of mine, well it's Cricket here. Now folks play mobile games mostly though :D How old is that photo Lisa?
You may be the 2nd in middle row or 3rd in last row from left ;) Am I wrong? Could be :D lol...
Cheers...
Thanks Mayura. Cricket huh? I think I played that once. I won't admit how old it is, but it's in color. 2nd from right on bottom with glasses :)
