We would play baseball with just 2 guys...when things were hard.
The school was brick and about something like four feet from the ground there was this concave cement break in the brick..about 8 inches thick..and then the bricks started again.
What we would do is use a rubber ball. We would chalk in a strike zone on the brick The cement border was out of the strike zone.. The pitcher was to call whether the ball hit the zone.We were on the honor system.
But we all cheated.
The cement border was important because the pitcher couldn't get away with saying it was a high strike because when that ball hit that border...it would go BOING!!...and jump up in the air.
I always brought a bucket of water and made sure the ball was always wet when I batted....it would leave an imprint on the wall as to where it hit.
When I pitched, I took the bucket with me so I could cheat.
