over the line...

Growing up, my brothers and I played all sorts games in the front or back yard at my parents house. As we got older, the yards tended to get a lot smaller and a home run just didn't have the same appeal. So, a number of years ago we switched games around and began to play over the line. The idea of the game is the same but with a few added twists. On top of that there is an evolving list of rules that hasn't stopped growing since day one. All of that comes together to create the best front yard game ever and the most popular event in the neighborhood.

With that said, there was another epic game of OTL in the front yard this afternoon. It was amazing not only because my team won but also because I got out of my hitting slump and did pretty good! OTL is a fun game for the whole family to play (my sister even comes out every now and then!) and one that I will miss whenever I move away.
