Queens champions, the Fourth Street Boys
(QUEENS, 8/7/1999) There were six teams in this week's competitions, two not even from the borough of Queens.

While the Fourth Street Boys of Manhattan were the winners, the Caledonia Old-Timers, a group of 60+ year old players, made the biggest impression on the crowd. Great stickball games were played on two fields, one wide and favoring the hitters, one narrow, supporting the defense.

This may well have been the friendliest event of this year's tournament. Lots of good people in attendance and a picure perfect day.
