They don't build houses like they used to.
I grew up in a little brick house in Queens with sturdy plaster walls. Wherever I was watching TV (19" B/W rabbit ears) I would have a catch with a tennis or rubber ball against the wall over the TV.
I spent hours doing the same against the outside wall in my backyard and developed a pretty good arm and catching coordination.
I can't remember my parents ever complaining.
Couldn't do it with the walls in my current house or against the siding on the outside walls.
I still see the hand painted square strike zones on some school brick walls, but I have not seen anyone use them for stick ball since 1980.
