: Before Fairfield and Starett City, Pennsylvania and Flatlands had a huge junkyard, Carvel (and a swamp behind it where people flew radio-controlled airplanes) and the Bat-a-Way and golf driving range. My friends and I used to swipe the rubber-covered hardballs from the Bat-a-Way because a regular horsehide-covered baseball wouldn't last a single inning on a paved schoolyard surface.
I remeber going into those lots before the private houses were built. I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. We would catch snakes, rabbits & etc.
