The only game where the fat kid gets picked first to break the pony. Split my head on the telephone pole

On Sedgwick & Kingsbridge we called it Johnny-On the Pony.

In Philadelphia I believe that Bill Cosby called It Buck Buck.

You only split your head open? I hope that you are not complaining! (JOKE)

Rob M has got it right. I was the fattest kid on the block. I got picked last for stickball and games requiring speed & coordination, but first for what we called "Johnny on the Pony".
