I recall the days of curved-top-tube cruisers and leather ball gloves; age circa 7-8, and my cruiser was a JC Higgins with 24" wheels; a basement model with no chrome: white bar and rims. But that bike was still at home when I left at 18, and we'd all thrashed it, and it never, ever got any maintenance. I think my glove was a department store glove, too, but I recall loving the feel of the leather and the way it fit my hand during the pickup games in the dirt lot across the street from our house.
Does anyone play baseball any more? In those days -- early '60s -- baseball was, as far as I remember, *the* big sport, and we kids played it as a matter of course -- no sissy softballs, either; always a "hardball". My parents didn't buy us gum, but I recall other boys swapping the baseball cards inserted in the packages. Is baseball still a major sport? Do elementary school-age boys still play baseball in vacant lots, as opposed to parent-dictated Little League and company or church softball leagues?
