Pinky Ball Book
Did you know that Pinkys and Spaldeens were orginally the inside of tennis balls and sold for 15 cents?
Some of us called them throw away balls because the ball companies had too many of them.
In case you've forgotten chops and roofer,
chips on the ball, and scroogies,
chickie the cops...
well, they're all here,
along with knucklers and sliders and zappers and slams, and A My Name Is Alice,
Hit the Penny,
Russian Seven,
Flies Up,
Spud,
and a zillion other things that kids used to know about when they hung around on the stoop after dinner instead of zoning out in front of the TV or the computer.
