Our wireball rules were a little different. Single, Double, etc were determined by the height of the wire hit either on the way up or on the way down. The highest wire being a home run.
Same applied for halfies ansd hosies…you had to find a 4 story warehouse or school and then a aingle would be off (uncaught) the 1st floor and a double off the 2nd. Now a Homer got interesting because there were 4 stories, a ball could come down and get caught therby negating the HR…but naturally when you “roofed” it, it was “Outta’ Here”!!
