I played softball on a girls team. The only reason I was allowed to actively participate instead of sitting on the sidelines was because my father threatened the softballs of the man who ran the league. I pitched.

Punch ball, stickball, football all on the street in front of 1154 Ward Avenue. Handball on the back wall of the Ward theater. Basketball in Hank Kaplan's backyard - he lived in one of the "private houses".
I could also skate very well and wanted to be in the Roller Derby.
used to play at the 96 schoolyard, with a spray painted box on the wall as a strikezone,,,and much time in the parking lot across from my apt on Olinville Ave....
