IN THE EARLY 50’S WE PLAYED STICKBALL AT BORO HALL IN THE BRONX, JUST OFF TREMONT AND THIRD AVES. I WAS CALLED RED… PLAYED WITH BLACKY, EDDIE LITTLE, KING LOUIE, FATS AND SEVERAL MORE WHO’S NAMES I CAN NOT RECALL. WE WERE CALLED THE CBC’S, BOUGHT JACKETS, HAD AN OLD LINCOLN AND TRAVELED AROUND PLAYING ANYONE FOR MONEY WE COULD FIND. WE WERE GOOD, MADE MORE MONEY ON A WEEKEND THAN OUR FATHERS MADE ALL WEEK. PLAYED FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT. WE USE TO CLIMB UP THE FIRE ESCAPES TO GET INTO THE BORO HALL IN ORDER TO GET TO THE ROOF TO RETRIVE OUR BALLS. DAYS OF OLD.. DAYS WE WILL NEVER FORGET…ANYBODY STILL AROUND FROM THOSE DAYS??
