Either betting ponies with my grandfather, or playing athletics. 1st time sexual involvement stands out as well.

Wiffle ball...

For $2.50 you could have fun all day til that damn ball got a crack in it....Wiffle Balls were scarce back in the 70's and 80's

LOL...I always loved that big Red wiffle bat. Felt like you were cheating, though, compared to the skinny yellow one.

Nah, you HAD to use the yellow banana! We use to allow a little tape on it though...

we'd tape the hell out of the ball (black electric tape). the ball would hold up better, and you wouldn't lose a pop up in the sun as much.

I loved playing wiffle ball. Used to play day in and day out for hours on end. "Reggie Jackson"..."Willie Stargell"..lol I loved playing little league baseball too. I loved pitching in the Allstar games and was fortunate to have 17 strikeouts in a 7 inning game. Also played with Lance Johnson at Princeton HS in Cincinnati. I was a senior and he was a sophomore on the team. He did not start that year, in fact he did not even play. Lance went on to have a good and lengthy Major League career. A guy by the name of Jeff Williams played Centerfield. Williams had more talent than anyone I have ever seen. I once saw him throw a ball over a 30 ft high backstop from 400 feet by just bending over in the outfield and picking up the ball and just letting it fly...unbelievable..lol He also ran 1.5 seconds under Major League average to 1st base. He was a 1st round draft choice. He recieved a 60k signing bonus, which was a lot of money back then. He lacked one major element Lance did not...Desire!

I also loved fishing with my father and grandfather. Those were great times. Wish I could relive them.

Loved being told about the evils of gambling and drinking as a child.

Probably my fondest memory.

Nice Job, I was the same age when I started getting my hands on those. That is a great subject for a new thread.

Flying cross country by myself to visit my grandmother in florida when I was 11. Pretty exciting for that age. Always have a good feeling at the airport due to that memory.

there are 2 that stand out - 1 i still laugh hard at today some almost 30 years later

one summer when i was in like 6/7 grade - it was a long hot summer and we were REALLY BORED! i forget who - but it was probably me - but we decided to hand out some chocolate to some neightborhood kids. only thing was these were Ex Lax Chocolate squares. one kid ate about 6 of them. i heard he was up until about 4A with that time spent on the toilet

the other one happened during the summer when i was 12. our whole family flew to the Seattle/Portland area for a few weeks. on the way home - we flew Air Cal (later bought out by American - i think). well, one of the (as they were called then) stewardesses got on the intercom and said they were having a contest with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. the contest was the person with the biggest hole in their socks (or similar). when they announed this women started ripping their pantyhose for a stupid $2 bottle of Andre champagne. but, my father, bro and i simply and calmly took off our shoes and proudly showed them to the "judges". my bro won (they gave dad the champagne) with my father and i taking 2nd and 3rd. my father was beeming from ear to ear with pride over this while my mother - who seated across the aisle - hid her head in shame. my cousin was pissed because he would have been in contention but his mother bought him new socks before he came out from Chicago for the summer. when the plane landed as soon as we got into our car - mom took us straight to a place to buy socks BEFORE we got home.
