in the bensonhurst section of brooklyn in and around seth low jhs, stoop ball was played as described,and a different game when the street was clear and we could really blast the ball, we played single,double , triple…but stoop ball was king, one bounce 5 pts, on a fly ten, pointer 100, and we had a stoop that if u hit the pointer above the top step, which was really the door sill on the top step, it was maybe 1 inch high, so if u hit it just right…500 points, but if you were just a hair high on it, u would hit the door, and thats an “out”. next person would go.
