The 1999 New York City Stickball Classic
Amidst a level of controversy and intense play synonymous with the sport, the
1999 New York City Stickball Classic came to a climactic end as the Latinos
defeated the Bronx Knights 3-2 to become the champions (read about it
here).
The Stickball Classic, sponsored by Spalding, Modell's, The Daily News, and
WABC Talk Radio, included competitions in each of the 5 boroughs and New
Jersey. Winners of competitions met in the finals to determine who was the
best in the game. Money raised from the event is being donated to the Police
Athletic League.
