For the past thirty years, the bar has run two organized stickball games a year on the Sundays following Father's Day and Labor Day. The event brings in some of the old-timers who used to be in the neighborhood.
Games are just for fun, but are taken pretty seriously by participants.
Arguments about close calls can get intense. Still, everyone is welcome to play, the beer and food are free. This year, the event was also used to help raise money for the family of one of the employees who had just passed away. To the folks at McManus, thanks for having us over.
