This growing amateur sport features construction workers, musicians, accountants — and most importantly, a sense of community.
Carey was an early member of the Austin Playboys,. The Playboys got started in founder Jack Sanders' backyard, which he'd converted into a baseball field. After their inaugural game in 2006, the Playboys would traveled across the U.S. and beyond, spreading the word and supporting new teams. Though there's no official governing body, Carey tracks the sport as it spreads.
Steph Cherry, 29, started playing sandlot baseball last year to cope with the negative emotions they were feeling during the pandemic. They soon fell in love with the game, and later joined the Cryptids."Everybody's super positive," they say. There's no machismo."Sandlot teams share that welcoming atmosphere. What they don't share are their unique customs, rules and activities.
Rules are fluid."If you hit a home run, you have to hit the rest of the game from your opposite side," says Carey of the Playboys. Players who manage to hit a home run from that side have to use a 38-ounce bat."And if you hit one off of that, you're just a legend." The Oklahoma City Woodys, named for Woody Guthrie, were founded in 2022. Siblings Sarah, 32, and Whitley Connor, 30, use their games to help people experiencing homelessness.
