Speaking of throwbacks, how many of you had one of these as a kid?

We didn't have these when I was a kid - but my nephews had pitching and hitting and soccer/football kicking stuff like it.  The neighbor across the street, when I was a kid, built a 30" high cinder block wall facing the street at the sidewalk so he could level his sloping front yard.  We used to pitch to blocks on the wall on it with rubber balls. Every once in a while, a ball would go low, hit the edge of the sidewalk in front of the wall, and bounce into his yard.  Sometimes there'd be 5 of us at a time pitching to the wall.  I don't know how we never hit his picture window!  He was a nice guy and had three kids we were friends with. My sister helped his daughter become a nurse.
