Stickball is an East Coast tradition. It’s more or less street baseball, but with what amounts to a sawed-off broomstick as a bat. The neighborhood becomes the field. A manhole may act as second base, the walls of the surrounding houses are in play, and cars parked on the street are accepted obstructions. It makes sense for Major League Baseball and 2K Sports to tap into nostalgic memories of stickball to create a game for casual users. After all, there are plenty who like baseball but are intimidated by the MLB 2K series. I can’t fault them for trying — just for failing.
MLB Stickball mixes Major League players with average folks from the local neighborhood with names such as “Power Hitter” and “All Around Player.” Jenny from the Block is sadly not included. Each team starts with one MLBer, with amateurs filling in the three other roster slots.
Everyone’s got a big head and little body in Stickball, which makes me think Barry Bonds retired a year too early. He’d be a natural fit here.
Each neighborhood not only has its own look (sometimes using real-life settings), but also its own rules. Hit a parked scooter outside AT
