Stickball Tournament in Little Italy

- Find a stick and ball, close off some of Little Italy's streets, and bring in out-of-towners from New York City. Those are essential ingredients for San Diego's annual Labor Day stickball tournament.
One on one. Just two players, pitcher vs the batter (with a large square strike zone chalked out on a wall) was the best way to go. The pitcher would throw a high mph fast ball. Talk about intense. In the version seen in the video the batter does not need a skill set. We used to do this at PS 181 in NY.
Yes!! One on one and exactly as you describe it. I lived in Northern NJ just 4 miles over the GWB, since age 7 but moved there from the Bronx. We played at the school yard using the chain link fence as a back stop. We would tie a light jacket to the fence for the strike zone and it was fast pitch, anything goes. Batter got one out only and anything caught by the pitcher was an out.
We used as a bat a 1' inch by about 38 inch dowel (or a broomstick) for a bat and either a Spalding Hi Bounce (pronounced "Spaldeen" or a tennis ball. We played from about 8 am right thru dark with a 20 min break for lunch and dinner. One game after another and we never got tired. This was in the 1950's and damn we had a good time.
Same as growing up in Metuchen, NJ
Same here in Boston.
Spaldeen - a new release on Amazon by an author I’ve been following for a couple of years. My dad used to tell me about the little ball he played stickball with in the Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up. …A novel approach to storytelling, but I enjoyed it and flipped my copy to my dad. I think he’ll like it.
Trash talk is NOT PART OF THE GAME when I grew up in Brooklyn. There was pitching stickball, fungo (self hitting) and if you only had 3 players, catch a flys up.
Here are some cities that need stickball:
Boise, ID
Denver, CO
Cheyenne, WY
Toronto, ON
Portland, OR
Salem, OR
Vancouver, BC
Phoenix, AZ
Los Angeles, CA
Las Vegas, NV
Baroque Obama if the hipsters in Portland start playing stickball, I’m burning my bat.
I'm from NY and we didn't play it like that...we painted a strike zone on the side of a building and had real pitching..
Yeah, in the schoolyard. But we were playing it all the time including our own block which you had to play this way, and you would often try to hit the car of the neighbor who complained about we hooligans.
That's right. We did the same on Staten Island. That's real stickball.

@@r-leanmygirl-gj2kt We even played touch football with it in the schoolyard during our lunch hour.
I'm sure this never hits cars🤡

hii
What's the matter? Nobody can pitch anymore cuz you grew up playing with your so-called smart phones instead of going outside and building up your pitching arms? This ain't real stickball.
in real italy there isnt teenagers like that. there are all skinny
"Aren't"
'They're"
But yeah, we were toothpicks growing up in Boston yrs ago too..
