Modern Townball (Upper Midwest)
In the upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.) "townball" is a regional colloquialism for the dozens of rural amateur baseball leagues spanning the states. Typically, a town will field one or perhaps two teams made up of college students and working men from the area. These "town teams" play "townball" during the summer in leagues of similar teams from neighboring towns and small cities.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“We can paint unrealistic pictures of the juggler—displaying her now as a problem-free paragon of glamour and now as a modern hag. Or we can see in the juggler a real person who strives to overcome the obstacles that nature and society put in her path and who does so with vigor and determination.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
