Message: [QUOTE="cwh20, post: 5269566, member: 13009"] We called it, “Kill the guy with the ball” as at least one poster mentioned. Another name I learned that hardly anyone said is “kicker”. It seems everyone grew up saying Kickball that I’ve asked. In elementary school in Bristol there was always a kicker game going before school began. You just had to show up for it. Not surprisingly many of us had the same kinds of neighborhoods playing the same games during all the different seasons. One I didn’t see mentioned was fastball tennis ball if it was just you and a friend. The HS had a strike zone painted on the brick wall. Hit it on the running track for a HR. Into the hill for a double etc. trying to throw a tennis ball hard at 22+ makes it seem crazy. How did we not throw our arms out? [/QUOTE]
