Stickball

Stickball is a street game derived from baseball, played with a broomstick or similar stick and a rubber ball, historically popular in urban neighborhoods of New York City and other American cities from the early 20th century onward. Rules are adapted to tight city spaces, using manhole covers, chalk marks, or parked cars as bases. It offered inexpensive, accessible recreation for city kids and remains a nostalgic symbol of urban childhood culture.
