That last sentence of yours cracked me up. We made
an "art" out of retrieving balls from the open gutter
type street sewers.

But, just about the time we got be real "pro's" at
it, we moved the games off the street. Our neighbor-
hood Catholic School paved over their school grounds.
We thought it couldn't get any better for stick ball
playing.

But, it did.....hoping to keep us off their school
grounds, they put up a cyclone fence. Of course we
were good climbers, so now our playing field had a
fenced wall to shoot for. We even put up distance
markers.
