Hi everyone!This is Steve’s…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on February 21, 2005 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 13, 2014

Hi everyone!This is Steve’s father. I want to thank everyone who wrote all those beautiful stories about him. Ihave not been able to really talk about him in public because I really cant finish a sentence without breaking. This tragedy has really taken an effect on me whenever I think of him and I think of him alot. They say time heals all wounds but I’m 72 years old and I dont think I have enough time in my lifetime to heal this one. I miss him terribly. It is true that in the poem that he wrote stickball brought us closer together, but we were always a close family.It is true though that steve was a very good person,a loving son, a loving husband and a loving father and from all the stories in this column, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart

Christina g The way I remember this rhyming game combines words from two of yours: Oh, the girls in France Do the hootchy-cootchy dance And the way they shake Is enough to kill a snake When the snake is dead They put roses at its head When the roses die, it is 1959 (or whatever – sorry, 2005 just doesn’t cut it!)

I remember growing up playing…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on February 12, 2005 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 18, 2014

I remember growing up playing 4 square. It was like 4-way boxball but it used a red playground the size of a basketball/soccer ball. It was the same ball you used to play kickball with. If you missed the ball you’d be rotated to box 1.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on February 10, 2005 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 18, 2014

I would appreciate hearing from anybody who knows whether the Minton’s Playhouse Stickball team regularly played in a particular place, and if so, where? (Also, what years are you talking about?) Thanks very much.
