I remember standing under the tracks on new Utrecht ave trying to locate where the ball may fall through the tracks, cars beeping their horns cars screeching very dangerous but we didn’t care. If you hit over the tracks on a fly that was a home run. What great times""Love your writing. Our life is so like mine. I grew up in Brooklyn too. My parents didn't buy a house until I was 17 years old. I have so many of the same memories. The delivery men, going to Lundy's.
