Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4223727, member: 9260"] yes, any which way was legal. a ball carrier often has both hands on or near the ball, so the most common move was to use 2 hands to strategically flip it up there to a spot that looked unpopulated, and run faster than the unknowing to that spot. there also was great debate as to the 'triple crown' rarely awarded. the triple crown was if a player was knocked into the building or fence where they meet, and then caromed to the other, and finally landing on the asphalt. 3 points. we had no field goals cuz nobody was kicking anything to land who knows where elsewhere in the city, unless they were looking for trouble, which was always easy to find. not me tho, i was a freakin gandhi on the playground and streets, since i'd seen way too many times how words became fists, or worse, waaaay too many times. '[I]is that my moms calling? i got's to go now gents, smell u later...'[/I] that time i got shot by a co2 on the hoops court was most instructional. just becuz i called a foul, or something like that. and don't blame us. we learned weird rules from a saintly teacher who managed the afterschool program. playing a baseball-like game on that playground with a rubber ball, and fists for a bat, he would sometimes call out '25!,' against a team for some infraction, like hitting the ball into a neighboring yard, or factory, or too much fighting, which meant their opponent could continue to bat until they made 3 [I]consecutive [/I]outs, and not just 3. we mostly thought he did it to cheat for a badly losing team, niceness an all that. i mean, it's not like we couldn't just hop the fence to get it back, but i guess it was a political thing for school management to prevent us reprobates from constantly nosing around someone's yard. on the udder hand, a nasty dog in that yard seemed to work quite well.
