Who Remembers Kickball?
You have to have a good ball to play. One with some bounce. Similar rules to baseball they say. But you could get the ball thrown at you as you rounded the bases and be called out. Everyone wanted to pitch. I left school Friday afternoon and saw this kickball on the playground in the snow.
The rusting chain link surrounding the playground. The red rubber ball birghtened the scene.

“I do, it was only played on the school grounds under teacher’s supervision. No one off the school premises ever said to me, Hey, Kids, let’s play kickball.”

I like the red, white and black color scheme. Yes, I vaguely remember kick-ball.

I have a soccer ball in my yard. I wonder who left it in the yard?
