Topix Underground

Several years ago, I was at my wife's sister's house. She has 3 boys. It was a bright summer day and they were all  inside playing video baseball in front of a giant tv.  That kind of struck me. When I was that age, I slept with my baseball glove on. We played baseball in the street in Detroit and we'd have to pause every time a car would come. Later, we were in 'little league'.   The whole thing is kind of emblematic of a larger cultural shift.  Baseball gloves, bicycles and dogs..... It's self explanatory for those that know.
