Old Coot: Our Binghamton pastime is a thing of the past
It’s that time of year again; time for the “Boys of Summer.” That’s what they called it back when I was a kid in 1954. It was the last year I was eligible to play Little League. Eleven years old and soon to be too old to qualify. Three of us from the neighborhood “gang” decided to try out. And, to our surprise, made the team: Woody Walls, Waren Brooks and myself. The biggest thrill was getting the uniform making us official players on the Elk’s Little League team. We were a scraggly bunch of South Side, Binghamton kids. We grew up playing ball at the “Flats,” a wide-open playing field between Vestal Avenue and the Susquehanna River, adjacent to the temporary veteran’s housing complex. It’s now part of the MacArthur Elementary school grounds. There is one veteran’s house still standing, now used as the bath house for the city pool. But back then, it was home for my cousins: Rosemary, Rita and Jerry Collins. Billy and Pat Collins came into my world later on.
