I can remember, when I was a little girl, The games of my youth, in particular, baseball, There was no stadium...someone's yard was just fine, We'd play 'til the ump couldn't see to make the call,
No players with big egos, attitude galore, No salary...didn't have to get paid for fun, No fancy uniforms, no grabbin' at the crotch, No disrespect, no big brawls, no corked bats for runs,
Things sure have changed since the ball games of yesterday, O, how I wish that things could have remained the same... I sure miss the good old days, when baseball was fun, When players played baseball for the love of the game.
Oh Karla, I know exactly what you mean. I don't think kids are having as fun of a childhood as we did when we were kids and part of that fun was doing simple things like playing baseball.....smile Great poem!

Whoa. right on Karla. I so remember the days about which you speak, and you bring it all back so beautiful in your poem. Happy birthday to you and your sister
How true Karla. My father played for the Yankee farm team, I went to all the games I loved baseball, but it's not the same to me anymore.Happy Birthday and many more to come! God bless you with all His riches in glory!Love, Eileen
Those days of lessened egos in the minds of ballplayers are sadly, no more! It is all for the money nowadays and no respect is left from the players standpoint, anymore.
Nice write, Karla.
