Did you play baseball when you were a kid?

Post Reply New Topic

I played non competitive baseball on the Challenger team.

I did for one year. It's not my favorite sport and I wasn't very good at it, but I got 4 walks and drove in a run or 2 in my last game which was cool. I played outfield. What about you?

I was thrown out of Little League in Forest Hills, Queens, NY at the age of 9 because I was afraid of the ball.

I did play lots of baseball (but mostly softball) when I was a kid. And some softball as an adult, too.

I got a little better as I got older---but never good enough to be on any sort of team that was not in a slow-pitch softball league.

Me trying to hit or catch a baseball

As a Brit, I guess cricket and rounders would be our equivalents - and pretty much anyone of my generation would have been made to play them in PE/PT lessons at school. I never played them voluntarily as a street game with friends or anything, though; partly complete lack of interest, and partly because I was completely hopeless at all of the positions on field.

My abiding memory of it was being forced to take my glasses off to play by gym teachers - supposedly because it would have been dangerous if they were broken by the ball. I can't hit or catch a ball to save my life even when I can see the damned thing, so I always thought that it was far more dangerous that I hadn't a clue when I needed to duck! (though, talking of ducks, I was always "out for a duck" when batting at cricket - dismissed without scoring any runs!)

Yup! I athletically and socially peaked in elementary school! Won two pitching machine league championships

I hate all sports(except cheerleading but that's for perverted reasons) & that includes baseball. I only every played it in PE. I have bad fine motor-skills & a low vision disorder so sports like that or NOT my thing

I don’t know how to play and don’t want to learn.

I don’t enjoy any sports involving balls.

I used to be pretty good in dodgeball....

Yes I did, but I sucked at it

I was put on a Little League team when I was young, but it didn't last very long. I have never been athletic in any sense of the word.

Baseball's the one with the racquet, right? Nope. Never played.

Yes. I cried once at a friends house because I didn’t want to play because I thought I would suck. But the parents encouraged me and it was okay. There have been times as an adult that I missed playing baseball and wish I had someone to play with.
