A nostalgic reminiscence of summer sandlot baseball in College Acres near Citadel Drive. The author recalls Larry Stewart's powerful hitting, makeshift balls bound by black tape, improvised fields, and carefree afternoons with friends on a sunlit, tree-lined field. The piece contrasts then and now as organized youth baseball replaces the old one on vacant lots.
