I remember playing some 2-on-2 at the Dutch Reformed school on the Southside of Chicago (now called the Roseland Christian School) when a gang was walking down the railroad tracks just outside the parking lot. They chased us down an alley throwing large rocks and bricks at us. Basketball can be a rough game. That school yard was where I played a lot of "strike-out" AKA "fast pitch" on the Northside. strikeout – Corkball
