The Youth Sports Institute, a think tank at the State University of New York at Cortland, is promoting Sandlot Day 2010, a day when adults would cede control of games to the players, who would make the rules -- choose sides, create lineups and keep score or not.
"A large part of the passion for baseball can be found in the historic roots of what occurs when playing in small games in the sandlot, playground, or backyard. Through Sandlot Day, baseball has a great opportunity give just one day back to the origins of the game," the institute's news release says.
