I came across these six playing an intense game of kickball. They were all really hustling too – going after fly balls and hustling to tag the kicker out. "We're professors here. Our kids go to the UCLA Lab School together."
"Do you guys come here to play often?"
"We try to as much as we can."
What a beautiful thing that should be done way more.

“I’ve been doing this since I was in junior high. I’m 31 now.”
“Why do you like it?”
