Stoopball Baseball!
We would take a blue handball and throw it at the bottom three steps of the stairs in front of someone's house. Two or three of your friends would be in the steet and on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. If it hit the ground in the street it was a single, cars on the other side was a double, opposite sidewalk a triple, and hitting the house on the other side was a homerun. Hitting the sidewalk in front of the stairs was a fowl ball and if someone caught it you were out. It was great until we got older and EVEERYONE could hit a homer. Trick was to hit the point of the stair.
