Bronx Born And Raised, Throggs Neck and I played every game they are talking about and loved it. AND no computers and no fat kids back then, we were active, running, jumping, playing stick ball, tag, two hand touch. Another reason why stick ball was invented is because you used and broomstick and a Spalding rubber ball so when you hit a parked car you didn't take out a windshield like my sister did one day when we played softball in the street lol oops... Yup my Mom paid for that one lol.
@whiteknightdarkworld BRING IT ON PHILLY ! DA BRONX IS #1 lol...

It's so great to see . People older than me. Swinging and coming to agree, the game that always will be... a time honored tradition of we.

My dad grew up in the Bronx and told me all sorts of stories about stickball. Sometimes you'd break a window and everybody was gone in a minute.
