Synopsis
To the uninitiated, stickball is merely inner city baseball, played with broomstick bats and manhole covers for bases. To its players and fans, however, stickball is so much more than that. A uniquely New York institution that has now spread to cities across America, stickball has been around for one hundred years and continues to bring together different communities, mend racial tensions and foster life-long friendships and neighborhood leadership. From its humble beginnings to this very day, stickball has been more than a game. It’s a way for new immigrants to become American.
