My little league baseball coach was a corkball guy....we loved to go to those pits with him. He also kept a gallon pail of bottlecaps in his garage, the kind with the cork inside, and different lengths of broom handles. We played caps for hours and hours as kids. My right shoulder has been a mess for years.....and I know exactly why.

My best friends family owned a bar and grocery store on the corner up the street. We had a never ending supply of caps and handles from old mops at the store. Bottle caps was almost a religion in our neighborhood. When we got older we came up with a couple cork balls and bats and used to play in the summer in the daytime. Both bottle caps and cork ball were fun for us. We also played quoits with washers and holes in the ground. Forerunner of todays washers. And bottle caps was a great way to throw your arm out.
