|Description=<p>Gregory Christiano recalls this as a fungo game for times where there were too few players for stick-ball in The Bronx, New York in the mid-1950s. A fielder who caught the ball on the fly went &ldquo;up&rdquo; to bat.</p>
<p>Gary Land quotes New York City resident Michael Frank: &ldquo;Hardball? Never. Other baseball-related games we played included Stickball in the street and &ldquo;Flies-Up&rdquo; in the playground. The latter game is not further described, but could be a species of Fungo.</p>

|Comment=<p>Was there a pitcher involved, or did a batter fungo the ball to the fielders?</p>
