I always those kinds of games and those really bouncy balls. I have never been very into organized sports, but I always liked non-organized street sports. I never played stickball either, but I did have balls similar to the ones used in the game, and I always liked bouncing the ball against a wall, since they bounce much higher than ordinary balls.
