Baseball hasn’t changed over the years, has it? Turns out yes. This episode visits the nuances of Backyard (sandlot) Baseball including ballfields, arguments, complex negotiations, ghost runners, substitutes, equipment issues and something that no one seems to talk about – the incredible shrinking baseball field. We'll compare the backyard baseball experience to organized baseball/softball to see just how much baseball has changed.

Music composed by Tom Knutilla or Brian Roberts and performed by Tom Knutilla.
