Little Italy hosts Labor Day Stickball Tournament

If you’ve never seen a game of traditional stickball, there is no better place in San Diego than Little Italy to watch the epic street games go down. The annual Labor Day Stickball Tournament will return on Saturday, Sept. 3 through Sunday, Sept. 4. The games will kick off at 8 a.m. and go until 5 p.m. each day.

The game, which is an East Coast past time that Little Italy has made its own, has players who come from across the country and world to play. You can use a broom, a table leg or any kind of useful stick to play. It resembles baseball with slightly different rules and regulations, and it is typically played in the streets.

This year’s event has eight registered teams competing for the title of “King of the Block.” The game is free to attend and will be held on India St. from W. Ash to W. A streets and on Columbia St. from W. Beach and W. Cedar Streets.
