basic, pickup equipment, then you mean stickball. It's the urban street version of baseball. Never played it, but I'm told it has its own rules, taken as seriously as in the pros.
We played street hockey. When the snowfall was heavy enough it would build up on residential streets so that we could slide around in our winter boots, like skating. Dave Haney, the hockey fanatic among us, built a regulation goal out of wood, which could be pushed aside for [rare] traffic.
Now I know this will vary by country, but How many remember "bat and catty" "give a holler" I thought for years it was give a hollow. Another was "stroke the bunny", no rude comments please.
Another one was "kick the can."
Anybody know any variants on these games? I'm talking early 1960s.
