Tradition.

From a lovely piece in The Times about a tradition that just won’t die:

↵↵Four stickball teams compete in the East Harlem League here on Sundays, two on each end of the street. It is the midpoint of the 12-week season, and the game is still drawing fathers, sons and grandsons, brothers, uncles and cousins, old classmates and neighbors, mostly from outside the neighborhood.

↵↵Please read the whole piece. This is why we still need reporters.
