Stickball Quotes
Learned stickball as a formal education. Lost a lot of fights But it taught me how to lose O. K.. Oh, I heard about sex But not enough. I found you could dance And still look tough anyway. Oh yes I did. I found out a man ain't just being macho. Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food, drank a lot of take home pay. I thought I was the Duke of Earl When I made it with a red-haired girl In the Chevrolet.
Billy Joel
If you're going to play stickball in Canarsie you better learn Brooklyn rules.
Rene Balcer
We hung out on the streets, played stickball, and did all of the things that other kids did.
Bob Cousy
Why the fairy tale of Willie Mays making a brilliant World Series catch, and then dashing off to play stickball in the street with his teenage pals. That's baseball. So is the husky voice of a doomed Lou Gehrig saying, ‘I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.'
Ernie Harwell
Brooklyn, when I was growing up, was awesome. It was stoopball and stickball - a lot of kids... the baby boom generation were all in the area. It was just a really great place.
Jerry Doyle
When I was 8, my best friend was raped and murdered and thrown off the roof of our building. That's when my serious writing began--when writing became an outlet for me to express my feelings and emotions...That is when I began to understand the power of writing. Other kids played stickball; I'd write weird journal entries.
