I had forgotten all about this one, until I read the message on Buck Buck. I remember watching my brothers and the other boys on the street playing it. How I loved growing up in Philly! We lived in the Richmond Section.

Hi, I grew up on Long Island, and I can still smell that new ball smell of the Pinkie. Spaldeens just didn’t smell as good. If anyone still wants to find any pinkies, (the spaldeens are now at Sports Authority, and Modells) I would suggest cruising the old neighborhoods and look for older run-down homes. Then ask permission and check those gutters!!

Anyone remember “Buck Buck”? The gang split up into two teams. One person from each team was designated as the cusion. He would stand with his back agaist the wall and his teammates would line up. The first teammate would lean down and put the top of his head against the “Cusion’s” belly. The rest of the team would line up behind the first like a train with their heads down. The second team, one at a time, would run from the curb and jump on top of the other team’s players and try to make them collapse. Every time a player would attempt to knock the other team down, he would first scream,”Buck Buck #1 coming..” and so on until the weight of the other team was too much and the first team would collapse. Great site! Looking forward to seeing more of the games that I have forgotten that I would like to teach my two sons. They still don’t understand why you wouldn’t use a whole pimpleball!!!!!!!!

I grew up in Brooklyn and we called them pinky balls. At one point I remember inserting the ball into (god this will age me here!) tube sock, standing against a brick wall and whacking it against the wall between our legs and under our arms to the tune of “hello, hello, hello sir”. Does anyone have any recollection of this? Also, will the new principal at PS 236 please check the roof…there must be a zillion pinky balls up there…unless Mr. Rahinsky got them first!
