Well, that was what used to play, because we didn't have the right equipment. We didn't have gloves, we didn't have bats, so what we did was, we took a - we stole my mom's broom, cut the handle off and used that as a bat. We used that as a bat and we also made a ball with - we would put a stone inside or with paper from a newspaper we would mould it as if it were a ball and put that inside cigarette packs, which were made of cardboard and empty, then we would cut those up with a scissors and cover it like this, and play with that, with our hands and with the broom. And we hit that too. We played, my brother and I, with pine cones from the pine groves that fell down, that dried out - with that, with the bat, with the broom handle, we tossed the pinecones and played baseball also with them.
