Half a Century Later, Brooklyn Stickball Old Timers Day Remains Special
A tradition half a century in the making continues to bring out the competition and camaraderie on a Bay Ridge block.
This year’s Brooklyn Stickball Old Timers Day, once again held on the same day as the Ragamuffin Parade, Saturday, October 13, celebrated its 50th anniversary and brought old and new friends back together for a game they played as youths and still have a passion for to this day.
The beloved and nostalgic tradition, celebrated on 80th Street between Third and Fourth Avenues, brought back not only good, old-fashioned fun, but helped rekindle a long-lasting bond.
