A group of Bronx residents took a trip down memory lane and back onto the stick ball court.
Eighteen stick ball players returned to their old stomping ground at P.S. 24 Saturday to play their third annual reunion game.
The group of now-41-year-olds played the game on the very court back in the 1980s. Now in its third year, the group's reunion has grown to 16 players, with some even flying in from Georgia and California to participate.
The reunion's organizer Alden Cass says playing stick ball brings them back to their early teen years.
They use the same bats they had as kids and say that only the aches and pains have changed.
The group says they plan on continuing the tradition for years to come.
