ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Stickball

Stickball is a game played in the streets of New York by kids and adults. In the game, you use a stick to hit a rubber ball against a wall. The wall can be an actual wall, a curb, a fence, or any other kind of surface. The object of the game is to hit the ball as far as you can and try to get it past the wall before the other player can catch it. To score, you get points when your ball goes past the wall and the other player can't catch it. You can also earn points by hitting it against special targets on the wall. Whoever gets the most points at the end of the game wins. It's a great game to play with friends and family, and is a lot of fun!
