entire town’s baseball team Janet Kuypers 4/25/15 I never played baseball when I grew up, didn’t watch it on tv when I was little. But when my dad was young, while his aunt had fifteen kids, he and his cousins were the entire town’s baseball team. Now dad is older, he sits in his chair and watches the Cubs or the White Sox on tv. And even though I never saw him play thinking of him and his cousins being the entire town’s baseball team even give me fond memories.
