When I was growing up in a very small village in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, it was usually impossible to assemble more than two, three or four children to play baseball or football after school. Most of the kids were from farm families, where those older than five had chores that took up their time before and after school. Sometimes we had to play two-man baseball or football, or once in a while a game called cat’s cradle.
