The nylon/sock game goes like this: You take the end of a nylon or a knee sock and put the ball in and stand up against a cement wall and swing the ball so it hits the wall on your right and then your left and on certain words you lift your right leg (or left if you’re left handed) and hit the ball on the wall under your leg and here is the song you sing (the one I knew anyway) (lift leg on the word sir all the time) Hello Hello Hello Sir Are you coming out Sir No Sir Why Sir Because I caught a cold sir Where did you catch the cold sir Up in the north pole sir What were you doing there sir Catching polar bears sir How many did you catch sir One Sir Two Sir Three Sir That’s enough for me sir G’bye G’bye G’bye Sir See you in July Sir Eating Christmas Pie Sir!

I grew up in Woodside Queens in the 60’s and we played a game where a guy would hit a ball with the bat and if you caight it on the fly, you were up. If you didn’t catch it, whoever got the ball would roll it toward the batter (who had to lay his bat on the ground). If you either missed the bat or hit it and the batter caught the ball before it bounced, he hit again. If the batter missed the ball after it hit, you became the hitter. I tried to bring the game to Long Island when we moved to the burbs but it couldn’t compete with baseball fields.
