NEW YORK'S "STICK BALL" GAMES

Nike Stickball Tournament from nano on Vimeo.

WHEN I SEEN THIS EVENT BEING PRESENTED LAST WEEK TO THE NY KIDS I HAD A SLIM TASTE OF JEALOUSY IN MY MOUTH. NIKE AND THE NEW YORK TEAM TWO DAYS AGO HAD A STICK BALL TOURNEMENT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE. IDK IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE GAME BUT THE FACT OF HAVINGING EVERYONE TOGETHER,CHILLING, AND PLAYING A VINTAGE GAME TO OUR CULTURE WOULD HAVE BEEN A  DOPE SCENE FOR ME. OUT OF ALL THE GAMES WE AS YOUNGSTERS PLAYED LIKE KICK-BALL,WIFFEL-BALL, AND HID AND GO SEEK THE NEW YORK TEAM CHOSE STICK BALL WHICH IS A GREAT GAME TO BE PLAYED WITH YOUR COMMUNITY. FROM THE PICTURES I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE IT WENT AS PLANNED AND CAME OUT TO BE MAD FUN. ALSO IT SEEMS EVERYONE WAS INVOLVED , NO ONE THOUGHT THEY WERE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. I WISH I COULD HAVE MADE THIS WITH SOME OF MY HOMIES. ON THE FLIP SIDE DON'T THINK I'M DISSING MY PHILADELPHIA TEAM. WE PUT TOGETHER PLENTY EVENTS I JUST THINK IT'S DOPE IF WE HAD GAMES LIKE THIS WHERE WE KNOW ALMOST EVERYONE COULD PLAY.
