Does anyone remember a game, where you would line up in a row, and the first person on the line threw the ball against the wall and jumped over it. Everyone behind the leader had to jump over it when it came to them. If you touched the ball you were out and went to the back of the line. What was it called??? Bragg St between V & W (Brooklyn) in the 50s 7 60s Thanks.
definitely, was pretty good…

Hello there, At school, there is an alternative sports assembly , and a bunch of my friends and I are starting a wall ball team for our school. I know it sounds kind of corny but it would be a lot of fun. The only problem that we are facing is all of us have different little fragments about how to play the game but not the whole rules. So if anyone could help me out here that would be great. The only thing I know is that Wall ball is played with a hollow rubber ball and is bounced against the wall with different tecniques until one of the two players breaks the bouncing rythm. So if you could e-mail me, I would greatly appreciate it. My address is lindsayrae04 [at] hotmail [dot] com

We used to play a game in the i950’s in charleston s.c. and we called it half rubber or half ball. we didn’t know anything about pensie pinkey’s or spaldeen’s we would take any kind of solid rubber ball and cut it in half. Man, what a fun game, it was played on the order of baseball but no running to the bases. Has any one out ther ever played this game? If interested I can give you all the rules. blueridgeart [at] blueridg [dot] net

my friends and i used to play bounce pitch sitckball at the park down the street from us. because there was no wall behind it we couldnt actually throw fast pitch which would have been better but you know…im a lefthander and there was no fence in right field so we(lefty’s) had to hit it three times as far than the righty’s would to get a homerun. it would have to go into the neighbors yard to be a homerun and that was about 250 feet away. nobody had ever come close before until one day i stepped up to bat and crushed a homerun into the middle of the yard. nobody would get the ball because there was this huge german sheppard in the yard so they made me go get it(the you hit it u get it rule)so i had to go get the ball and i almost got eaten alive during the process. the dog chased me to the fence and as i was hurdling the fence, it took a chunk out of my pants. i was the hero for the day. we kept playing until it was dark like always thanx to me. every once in a while my friends bring that day up when we are talking about the old days.
