No adults. Just kids having fun with a 25-cent Spaldeen and a sawed off broom stick. And when the stick broke, we nailed it together and taped it up. If that didn’t work we played punch ball. Mostly it was just kids having fun, not having to be told to go outside and play. That’s missing today.

I remember getting out of school and racing home to watch an afternoon playoff game of October baseball. It was a special feeling for some reason . Growing up in Elizabeth we played most of our sports on blacktop . Either a school yard or street . Stick ball, wiffle ball , touch football , basketball and street hockey. Those were the days !
