Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on September 20, 2006 by Streetplay DiscussionsSeptember 20, 2006

The object of the game is usually stated as causing the horse to fall. Sometimes it is stated as, to see how many the horse can hold up. My object, and I have never heard this from anyone else, was to get the longest ride possible. If this is so there is no point in getting the horse to fall, unless there was not enough room for all of the rider to get on. Then causing the horse to fall means that you all get another ride.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on September 15, 2006 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 9, 2019

I played stick ball all summer as a kid. Our field was in the middle of the street with the light pole being the home run fence. It was not far or high but if you hit the ball to high you hit the tree that covered home plate. The best thing about a pimple ball was that if you didn’t hit it exactly right you would “EGG” the ball. This was the challenge. We played halfies into a chair. You got one swing. If you didn’t swing and the halfie hit the chair you were out. Once pimple balls left the scene, tennis ball took over. we lost interest in playing because any idiot could hit a tenis ball. Halfies with tennis balls was just not the same. Unfortunatly, Sony playstation has taken over kids spare time. How long before they have Sony PSP Halfies 2007 ?

>>>> Hi Steve… I was playing Skellies up in the Bronx (Tremont & Fordham Rd areas) in the late 1960’s through the late 1970’s. If I had known about prescription caps back then, I would have been the undisputed KING OF SKELLIES. Here I am thinking I was doing my thing with the metal caps (taken from the bottom of the chairs in elementary school) with wax, the penny and the whole nine. Next time I will remember. Joe Bronx, NY<<<<<< That’s how I did it, the silver metal caps from the bottom of school chairs, with melted crayons.My chair/desk would be missing 4 caps after the first week of school. LOL

In late 1930 there was a team in east harlem called the “Black Diomonds” they were a great team. Jimmy powers sports editor of the daily news used to write about them. Newsweek, had an artical about them also. I am 79 and remember a few of the player by ther first names. There is one player who was know as the Babe Ruth of the team.His name (only one I know by the full name)Johnny Brunelli and belongs in the hall of fame.For more info contact me at e-mail ..

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on September 14, 2006 by Streetplay DiscussionsFebruary 2, 2019

We used to use broom sticks for bats and when someone yelled “chickie, the cops” we hid them…. for fear the cops would take them …. and i was reading somebody was looking for a aluminum bat? the game has changed…. hey i still remember the sewer is second base……sliding into the tire of a car climbing up the six flights of stairs because someone hit a home run up on the roof … we only had one ball…. great memories….
