80th Street Old Timers Stickball Game 9/28
One day someone will make a movie about these Bay Ridginals. Every year a group of old friends meets on 80th Street on a Saturday in September. Their story is one based on friendship and the game of stickball which they pass on to their family and this community.
While many of the original players have moved away from the area, they still return each year to play a game a stickball. They agreed to do this many years ago. They bring their children to play and invite the community to participate in their game. Many cheer from the sidelines.
At the end of the day awards are given out – even to onlookers who watch the game. Afterwards, they head to JJ Bubbles to celebrate history in the making!
