Description:	<p><span>"In Brooklyn in the early 1960s, we played a game called "Running Bases". &nbsp;It was played similar to Peter [Mancuso]'s [account of] Base, except a rubber ball (Spaulding or Pennsy Pinky) was thrown between a person on each side who had to tag you with the ball. &nbsp;Rundowns, as in baseball, were the norm. &nbsp;No score was kept to my recollection."</span></p>
