There are no girls in those pictures!!!! LOL! We played with the boys.
I don’t know if it still is being played the way we did, I left Brooklyn in ‘82. I do remember seeing a bunch of kids with a football in the street one weekend I was visiting back home in ‘85 or ‘86.
I was back there last September and took my almost 16yo daughter through my old neighborhood - didn’t see a single kid playing in any of the streets where we always played. I was sad to see the basketball courts/outside gym of my Catholic elementary school was a parking lot.
In Catholic school we played free the pit, always got our uniform pants tore up. Mom was a good patcher She usually made towels and such for the Christmas bizarre.
