Ralph: It's fun to watch Norm play shortstop on his kickball team! June: He looks like he's put on some weight! Norman! Do you have something under your shirt? Norman: Thanks, mom! I was about to pull the hidden ball trick!
We had two bases: Home and the far base. You had to get to the far base and back without the ball touching you. There were never any doubts about being touched, because the ball would be flung at you about 90 mph and it hurt like the devil when it hit. The smaller kids were sometimes knocked off their feet by the impact. I cleverly avoided all that by always kicking directly to a member of the other team, so I never needed to run anywhere.
