I’m 34 YO and grew up in a suburb of West Philly playing three kinds of stick-ball. One-bounce stick-ball had two or three outs an inning and you got either one strike or two fouls.
Fastball involved pitching into a box painted on a wall and has three strikes and four ball walks.
Half-ball involved cutting a tennis ball or pimple ball in half and playing by fast ball rules, with no walks.

All hits were automatics with telephone poles or manholes determining the bases.
