At 5:24pm on July 23, 2009, BARRY BACH said…: Besides Milk box baseball there was curb ball, You stood at the curb , hit the ball of the curb bouncing it out in the street, and then ran the bases if no one caught it on a fly. It's possible you might have called it off the point, but you didn't have to hit the point
Also , where is Chinese hand ball on your list? Is it listed as King Queen Jack?
There was also "3 feet off to Germany." You got 3 free steps into the street and , if I remember had to race across to the other side to Bomb Germany without getting hit by a ball.

At 3:02am on July 18, 2009, BARRY BACH said…: Milk Box Baseball is played with a Spaulding and a box milk men used to deliver milk. A wooden box with metal rods dividing the interior into 4 rows of 3 to accommodate 12 bottles.
Lean the box against the wall at an angle, then from 2 sidewalk cracks away, toss for a single bounce into the box.
Top row =HR, then triple, double, bottom row = a single.
If not in box it's an out.

It was played with a Spalding and a box used for delivering milk.

BRONX SPALDEEN GAMES LIST (thusfar)
