My whole family for the most part grew up in Girard Estates and I’m moving to Girard Estates in a couple of months. Make that a neighborhood! I live in West Philly now in the Cedar Park neighborhood. I want to join either of those!

we shorten the field.. gotta hit it between that light pole down the “3rd base line” and the only place you can hit a HR is if it crosses the part of the fence that runs parallel to Hawthorne..

I’m talking Speed-Pitch though..

For bounce ball you play long ways and hit close to St. Vincent, towards Princeton ave… which DEFINITELY favors the Right handed batters

I still get my stickball on there from time to time. Though, that place definitly favors right handed hitters.

It’s not too late to sign up, email us if you want to join.

If we get low on hoods, I might start using some less-known Northeast spots since there are a lot and that’s where I’m from (Morrell, Chalfont, Bridesburg, Tacony).

CT, thanks for getting us started.

what philly neighborhoods should we use if that wins? i think some of the generic names like “west philly” and “south philly” should probably be excluded.

some suggestions:

kensington
juniata
mayfair
fish town
northern liberties
rittenhouse
fairmount
bella vista
society hill
queen village
point breeze
pennsport
passyunk square
logan square
old city
washington square

I’m looking forward to this…it may be the only league in the country where you can pickup Jose Reyes or David Wright after the first 4 picks. :)
