This talk looks at the myriad amateur sports and organized games that St. Louisans play from mud pits to video screens.\u00a0 They play for trophies, championships, or the joy of winning.\u00a0 St. Louisans play games on clay, on ice, on sand, on screen, on water, in water, on grass, on asphalt, in mud.\u00a0 They play games with stumps, ropes, poles, barrels, sticks, stones, pallinos, gaga balls, castles, tree trunks.\u00a0 And watch out for the game where you get pelted with bags if you make a foul.\u00a0 The talk will also salute the place in nearby Illinois which is keeping alive a sport that appeared in the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis —the sport has never been played in any other Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n
