Will say we used either our hands for punchball or a stick as a bat for stickball.

Always get a kick when someone from Brooklyn talks about stickball or punchball. As if. That's ok though, we (guys from the Bronx) take it as a compliment. Imitation and all. BTW, as I sit at my desk running peoples financials, I have a Spalding on top of a trophy (maybe it is a spalding on top of a fancy fidget spinner. Not really sure. It is a Spalding though). Seriously, I didn't know Brooklyn played punchball. Stickball I would think. How about stoopball? P.S. Is it true you actually had a tree grow there?
