Bronx Baseball Pose - Mid 1940s

Stan also submitted another shot from the early 40s in the Reservoir Oval softball field. He says "It is a picture of my softball team taken the day we won the softball championship of the Reservoir Oval Softball League. Incidentally, I'm the guy at the top right of the picture."

My First Bike

Isn't this just an incredible shot of a little kid on a tricycle? And what about the classic cars in the street.

Stickball poetry

My childhood,
the building blocks
that formed my identity,
my character.
Humble beginnings,
a city child with
cement instead of grassy fields.
Stickball in the street,
not little league.
I didn't know that I was deprived.
How can you miss what you've never had?
Now my children have grass, trees,
soccer teams with fancy equipment.
But I don't see the joy in their faces
that would envelop me, the exhilaration
when I slammed that rubber ball
with a mop handle
and scored a triple.
A child with no backyard or
a child with no broken mop handle.
Which ones of us were deprived?
