Wow!
I LOVED Zell ball and played at Sagamore Park as a kid.
I too started out at Phelps park, but liked the pond and swamps there. We skated on it every day we could and picked " punks" ( cat tails ) in the summertime.
Like you, as I got older, Sagamore was the place to be.
I played zell ball all day long until I was crowned champion! Lol.
I recall walking home with burned and bloodied forearms from " whipping".
They were a Badge of Honor and I wore them proudly. ( Good Lord)
I think I know you. I lived in Sagamore ave, next to your block.
My brother is Russell. Other names recalled are Mulligan, Hajergian, Atkins, York and Panitiari, who owned the shoe store on Cedar Lane.
Those days were Gold!
So how did I get here?
I googled Zell Ball and found this site. It's the only mention if Zell ball on the entire web!
