anyone remember SPUD everyone had a number and there was 1 “ghost nuymber” someone would throw a kickball in the air and scream a number, say “7”, well everyone would run as fast as they could, except “7” they would run tward the ball and pick it up and immidietly scream “SPUD” then everyone else would have to stop int heir tracks, and the “7” would have 3 steps to get as close to someone else as they could then throw the ball at them, if they hit them they got a letter S P U or D, and if you missed, you got the letter, once you get SPUD your out. and your number retires as a ghost number — if a ghost number is screamed its free game to anyone who wants to get the ball.
