Interesting!
I never suspected that a town in the same state where we're located would be quite so hostile to kids and sports.
Well, the citizens of the "diamond of the Gold Coast", Greenwich, CT, cannot find it within themselves to let teenagers play wiffleball on town-owned land.

Is there anything that churches (of any denomination) can do about it? They really ought to try!
When the wealthiest, most privileged kids in our nation cannot indulge in pick-up sports, there is emphatically an opportunity for churches to step into the gap.
