Stickball developed in the late 18&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century from such English games as old cat, rounders, and town ball. Stickball also relates to a game played in southern England and colonial Boston in North America called stoolball. All of these games were played on a field with bases, a ball, and one or more sticks. The modern game is played especially in New York City on the streets where such fixtures as a fire hydrant or an abandoned car serve as bases."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Britannica&lt;/u&gt; Online search conducted 5/25/2005. &lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; No sources are provided for this unique report of early stickball.
