It was the summer of 1972 that my brother and I stayed with our grandparents. I was 9 years old. My grandparents had a dairy farm a few miles north east of Tonganoxie Kansas. Grandpa was a huge KC Royals fan. He listened to Paul Harvey every weekday at around noon. It was his love for baseball that introduced my brother and I to sports. We played for Corbin Electric. Grandpa made sure we made it to every practice and game. We had a lot of fun that summer. My brother was a pitcher and I played 2nd base and right field. My brother would throw some wild pitches sometimes. He threw hard for an almost 11 year old. He was ornery and courageous. He wasn’t afraid to mix it up with anyone. I was quiet and shy.
I can’t remember why we had different colored hats in the picture.
Anyone else play sports at a young age.
Let’s hear some stories.
