Yo, Vito. New Lots in the 70’s, what “era” were you there from? Didn’t go to school anywhere near there. Brownsville Recreation Center was a great hangout. My son’s name is Vito.

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 ?

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 ..

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….

Pennsy’s were better for punchball and slapball since they were softer. You should’ve asked Irv to sell both.
