Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 10, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 13, 2014

Steve, I just want to let you know that I went out with a good friend yesterday to play a game of stickball in the handball courts. I told my bud of your dedication to stickball and surely, the FD. We both played for an hour or so that was dedicated to your memory. I know your family and friends will be at your Memorial today, I’m sorry I can’t, but my prayers are. I’m sure God has a Spaldeen and mop handle and he’s ready to play!

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 7, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 9, 2019

Steve might not remember me by name – although we grew up in the Bronx and went to the same H.S. Norman Thomas. We were acquaintances from the neighborhood – we knew each other by face – we hung out in the same places and we saw each other on the #6 train. I remember meeting his wife Jovy through a mutual friend while they were dating and how much they were in love with each other. I remember when they got married and how radiant she looked. I had lost touch with Jovy, but always said an hello when we would see each other. I remember going to the Stickball tournaments with my Dad as I lived only 2 blocks from where it was held and remember seeing Jovy with the boys and Steve with Austin this past summer coaching him how to hit the ball and being amazed that his lil guy knew exactly what he was being taught. My heart goes out to Jovy and the boys along with his parents. I am truly saddened that their loss will have a great impact on their lives as well as the Bronx community as a whole. We will never forget u and your heroic efforts on that tragic day. May you rest in peace. Your Forever Friends, Debra Crespo (My Dad) Frank Crespo – The Bronx!

Does anyone remember the…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 6, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 19, 2014

Does anyone remember the flames game? It was this paper game where the girl would write down her full name, and the full name of the guy she liked. Then she would cross out all the letters that matched up in both names. Then she would count up the letters and get a number. With that number she will start counting through the word flames. Like for example, if the number was 7, she would start counting at f. f is 1, l is 2 and so on. So the 1st letter to be crossed out would be F. And you would continue on until you had 1 letter left. Then that letter was supposed to be the fate of the girl and the guy. Now, if anyone remembers this game, what does the letters A and S stand for? I know F was friends, L was love, M was marriage, E was enemies, but I can’t remember the other two. Does anyone remember what they mean?

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 4, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 18, 2014

Skelly was my favorite.. in East New York… it was as large as the square sidewalk square (if that makes sense)..anyway, when I had my kids I taught them ALL our games and I know that they’ll teach theirs…. it is up to us, and Streetplay, too, to keep it alive….. Sheindie Kusnetz

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 4, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsFebruary 16, 2019

As a former brooklynite I remember many days playing skelly in the Marlboro housing projects in Gravesend. It’s kinda sad that kids today don’t play the games we used to play and and I’m 30 years old . I mean games like tag , off the wall, stoop ball, asses up, manhunt etc. They mostly are locked in front of the TV . I would like to know the size of the skelly board. I can’t remember and besides every building had a skelly board spray painted nearby , thanks to the ” big kids “. I don’t recall ” out of town “in skelly. What is it ?

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on November 3, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 3, 2001

Hello Ballfolk I have Jack Russell Terriers and I bought a Spalding Hi Bounce for my favorite one to play with. She will fetch as many times as I will throw it. When she brings it back she bites it hard and shoots it from her mouth like a bulletand sometimes I can even catch it like she is throwing it. From a 55 year old man to your youth be brave and strong seek power and wisdon
