Pres Bush in college

I seem to remember seeing on the episode of PBS' Frontline (PBS) in 2000 on the background of the presidential candidates that candidate Bush created a game in his college years at Yale called 'stickball'. I believe it was played by teams from NY on the rules of baseball. Is there anyone with better resources that can look this up and write something about it? --Andymussell 01:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

If anyone can augment the new article on stoop ball, that would be great.

roof is an out

From the Streetplay.com rules: "Anything that lands on a roof is an automatic out." http://www.streetplay.com/stickball/introduction.shtml --Fine Arts 19:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Australian Stickball.

G-day fellow stickball people. I would like to ask why the short documentary about the Australian game that has the same name is considered 'Spam' by the admin of this page? We are not trying to sell anything, we are just raising awareness about this game.

kind regards

Spam may be the wrong term, but there is no doubt that this page is the wrong place for the Australian game, as outside of the coincidental name, it is utterly unrelated in basic concept, and basic concept is what Wikipedia articles are based on, not words or names. See here. I'm going to remove it. oknazevad (talk) 02:55, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

No longer popular?

The article says "This game was widely popular among youths growing up from the 19th century until the 1980s in Boston, Philadelphia, New York City and Northern New Jersey." If it is no longer popular, a section on the decline of stickball would be interesting. --RLent (talk) 15:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Also appears in the film It Takes Two (1995) Starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

There is a game of stickball played at the start of the movie by Mary-kate's character. It appears to be in a city resembling the north eastern U.S. Possibly New York. 173.35.3.180 (talk) 18:16, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
