Subject: Canarsie Stick Ball

I've been reading about the game of stickball in "Street Play" and I haven't seen any mention of stick ball in Canarsie. It's my contention that the game of Stick Ball was started in Canarsie. I remember playing stickball on the corner of 94th St. and Conklin Ave back in 1940 or 41. I'd be interested in any comments from others that played stick ball in Canarsie. There is a "Stick Ball Hall of Fame" and at present, as far as I know Canarsie nor anyone from Canarsie has been given any credit for starting or being involved in the game of Stick Ball.
